Mark loved life and woke up each and every day happy. He loved any and all sports but definitely the Atlanta Braves were his favorite team. He loved to watch the opening and closing bell of the stock market, going out to see a movie, and loved to go out to eat with his family. Mark knew no hate and was a precious individual who will be dearly missed by so many of us. He was truly a blessing too so many.
