Dear family and friends of Mark,
I was reflecting this evening on my breif time at Hopewell while living in East Earl. Mark came to mind because I remember his leading our Sunday school class at Hopewell. I remember Marks gentle manner of teaching and the conversations we shared way back then. He was encouraging to me as I was going through a rough patch in my life at the time. Having reliocated to Brooklyn NY I hadn't seen Mark since 1981. I always appreciated his sacrifice of time and friendship. I am saddened to hear of his passing but there is comfort in knowing he rests in the glory of God's kingdom with Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.

l and my family send condolence to the family of Mark, be strong God is in control,and Mark is with him now.

Mark was such an inspiration and encourager to many.
Blessings to you Fern, as you go thru one of the hardest things in life.
May you feel the peace and comfort that comes from God and from friends caring.
God bless..........

Mev and I send our sincerest condolences to you; as well as to Dawn and to Conrad.

Mark's contagious smile; his optimistic approach to life; and his willingness to reach out to engage even complete strangers in conversation made him "one of a kind".
In the years we have known Mark we never heard him say an unkind word to anyone; not to his wife...not to his children...not to his friends...not to his acquaintances...not even to complete strangers...NEVER!

What a testimony to a life well lived.

What a great example of the Christian walk. I also enjoyed his sense of humor.

So sorry for your loss. He truly was a man of God

Hi there, I wanted to let you know that Kent and I appreciate your family and pray for Gods comfort at this time. Pastor Mark encouraged us so much... we share a huge amount of respect and love for his life and the contributions at Hopewell. Truly a remarkable man. Big hugs, Cindi Christman
