Guestbook
As an adult, you become my mentor in business and life. It was such a gift for me to be a part of that business course with you. You were someone who I could call for advice about so many different things. You pushed me to strive for great things in my life.
My life was better because you were in it. Your joy and laughter will always be something missing from my life. I will never stop loving you, Grandpa Baldy!
Mark was a very generous & talented man. I’m forever grateful that he was a part of my church family and he has tremendously, always blessed my family. I can’t believe this is all happened. It’s quite difficult to process. I loved his sense of humor, his talent cooking food, and he was always willing to help others. I am extremely grateful to have known him. Mark, you’ll be greatly missed, beyond measure!!
