Mark, you were a wonderful teacher and an incredible friend. You touched many lives. I am lucky to have had you in mine.

Dear Mark,
I'm sorry you had to leave us so early. Your friendship will be sorely missed. I will always cherish your honesty and kindness. Two tacos coming your way.
Your friend, 
Ken

Rest in Peace, very sorry to hear about this. A "Godfather" in the EMS field, a man that always had your back on the fire ground, a strong dispatcher, a good man and one hell of an EMT instructor, the best instructor I ever had. You will be missed Mark!

Mark 
You were a great Chief,and teacher. You will be greatly missed. Rest in peace

It was always a pleasure to work with you and you let me take my "Boss" hat off and just enjoy the streets.  So long my friend. The next one is on me.

Rest in Peace my old friend. You were a treasure of a friend. Lucasini

Mark, overhead pong in Heaven to ya! I'm sure I owe you a million beef tacos, doubt if it is only two! You were a great man, co-worker, dispatcher, friend and techy! It is an honor to have known you and work beside you for many years. Thanks for all the advice, laughs and friendship and also your mentoring. Rest in peace

Mark thanks for all classes you let me challenge and win, the time you made me sit in the front  and for helping me be a better nurse, mother and medic, you will always be in my heart and thoughts. I hope I can be as good an influence on my son who is a medic now too.

Mark, Thank you for being our friend.  I'm sorry you had to leave us so soon.  I'm sure you and Kurt will continue to have great discussions.  You will be missed. T Rule

We go back a long way together. One of the great pleasures in my life was your friendship. I'm going to miss you buddy.

Mark, I very proud to have had the opportunity to work with you in both in the classroom and in the field. Some of the best memories are the time we spent teaching your EMT students at Modesto JC. But the most memorable moment was the time you preformed the "Cryc" on Highway 4 West of Angels Camp. To this day, I have never forgotten that call. And then years later to have you as the minister for a wedding that I was "producing" together in Sonora - talk about the other end of the scale.  My only regret is that we had not talked much these last few years few years. I will close with one of your favorite comments - "Live Long and Prosper".  May you rest in piece my friend.

Dad#2...Mark, you where a great person,  you loved my mom more than anything and you made my family complete. Thank you for being you and for bringing so much life to the people around you. You will be missed sooo very much, but we will see you again. until then we love you allways.

Mark always had time to listen to on of my cheesy stories.

Mark, you will be missed by everyone here at Cycle Specialties. You brightened everyone's day when you came in to see us.

Mark, although I only knew you for a short period of time, I will cherish the spirited conversations we had during the NAPCO and CalSIEC meetings.  I am proud to have gotten a chance to know you and to call you a friend.  You will be deeply missed by all.  Rest in peace, and rejoice in the presence of the Lord.

Mark, I owe you too many beef taco's to count.  I will miss you my friend, but am thankful for the years I knew and worked with you.  It was an honor.

Mark took Me under His wing In 1983-1984 durring the Stanislauis County Paramedic Program, Mark opened a whole new world to Me, EMS. It was not the yes sir no sir. excuse Me nurse or Doctor kind of expirence. WE were respectfull when respected and in Your face if not, We Were Paramedics a New Breed, and Mark passed to Me so much that I have had the privlage to pass on to countless others in My own almsot 30 years now. RIP buddy, I still remember you playing Your guiter around the campfire in Pinecrest singigng "You don't Me if You have not run my code 3 calls"

Mark you will greatly missed. Teaching in your classes taught me a lot. You are a great man and we will miss you very much. Rest in peace my friend.

My dear old friend. Thank you for being my hero in so many areas. Memories so great. Singing in my wedding.  Laughing and enjoying life.  You were great with the public and teaching.. It will continue in your new home .. Rest in peace..  Love and always thought of you when we moved away.

Mark was one of the most motivational teachers I have had! The EMT class was the greatest- I wouldnt be where I am today without his inspiration!! God speed Mark.

You were a true hero. Rest well my dear friend.

Mark,

Wherever it is that your spirit is now, I'm convinced that you're caring for those who need it, and teaching others how to help.   You sure made a great impression on me when I was a young EMT.  And, your friendship and strength made the best of the best of times even better, and helped Karen and me through the worst of the worst of times.

"Live Long and Prosper" may no longer apply in this realm.  But, I know in my heart that you will do both in the next one.
