However, heaven is all the more brighter and I know that one day you will be together again. Hold on to all the memories and lean our your faith. My Deepest Condolences, Denise

Dear Alice & Matt
Your husband & father was a Good Hearted Man and made everyone laugh just being in his presents with his richness for life and everything around him! Only saw him a few times after high school , but we had a few great times together. One time in High School we got out early Mark, Paul Harvey, Greg Garro and myself and decided to go out to help mark at his parents place, Paul was wearing white cooks pants and when he ran a piece of metal across the metal fence to get a black cats attention, he got it, as the cat came charging and spit a load of green slime all over Paul's pants, needless to say the three of us were fall down laughing, so we headed over to a trailer that was used for supplies, Mark said Joe, there's some beer in the frig go get us some , I had the surprise of my life when I open up the door and stepped up and a Monkey came flying into me , knocking me onto my back and then heading for a row of trees! When everyone stopped laughing, Mark said " we have to get him back or my Dad will.kill me! Never a dull moment when you hung out with "BOBCAT" ! He touched a lot of lives human & animal and will be missed by people like myself who have not seen him.in years, Alice & Matt have strength in each other and the fact that the Mark is a part of you and always will be for eternity!

Mark was truly a gentleman and a fascinating one at that! We had the pleasure of seeing him every year for about 30 years at various festivals and in recent years at Wisconsin Dells/Timbavati or at Goebbert's Pumpkin Farm. He always made time for conversation and friendship, no matter how busy he was (and he was always super BUSY!) We will miss him greatly. We send our sincere condolences and sympathies to his family.

I have had the privilege to meet Mark only a handful of times but every time I chatted with him he made me feel welcomed and gave two of my boys the chance to work at Goebbert's in the petting zoo. The boys were very intrigued by Mark's knowledge and they loved to listen to him talk. My deepest sympathies go out to all family members during this difficult time.
Thoughts and Prayers to Mark's family!
