i was shocked to learn of Mark’s death. I enjoyed the times I met with him or talked on the telephone with him. I always appreciated his securities analyses and investment advice. My condolences to his wife and children. I am fortunate to have had the opportunity to know him. John Slaughter

To Mark’s family – my husband and i just learned of Mark’s passing. Mark was a friend since high school and we have many fond memories of our time spent together. My husband still has a pair of winter boots Mark gave him one Christmas, which was about 40 years ago.  We always loved Mark. He was kind, funny and had a smile that would light up a room. We wish everyone comfort during this difficult time and may you find joy in your memories of the time spent together. R.I.P. Mark. Love, Debbie and Danny

I just heard of Mark’s death and am saddened by the news. I knew Mark from high school and the years following. He was a funny, generous person with a  smile that would make anyone happy. His love for old corvettes, Valley Forge Music Fair, the liquor stores, Wildwood NJ and Tony’s Market will always hold special memories. May he Rest In Peace. Prayers to Mark’s family and friends

Mark was such a good friend and we worked togther for many years and after I got sick we would meet for lunches and dinner he was a wonderful man and he loved all of you so much!! We always talked about you and how proud he was of his family. We were supposed to have dinner with Kathy and Mark the next time we got together. We are so sad and will pray for all of you.

Kathy, Brianna and Eric:  In many respects, Mark was larger than life.  His smile, charm, intelligence and wit were as irrepressible as they were authentic.  I had the honor of calling him both a friend and a colleague for more than a decade, and I can tell you with absolute certainty that he will be deeply missed by many people.  He taught me a great deal as a professional, and I relied on his judgment on countless occasions… as did his co-workers and clients.  He was one of those rare individuals whose enthusiasm for life was a source of confidence, happiness and strength for all those around him.  He loved each of you profoundly, and spoke of you often and with great pride.  He made the world a better place, each and every day.  God Bless you all.

Kathy,Brianna,Eric and Family,                  Our Heart’s are so sad and we can only imagine how big a void your experienceing.    Mark’s confidence made you feel so much better about yourself even if you didn’t know him that well. His smile lit up a room like no other and his generosity was also like no other. As i have ,like other’s experiened loss I remind myself of memories to carry me thru,like Going to Masthope in winter and meeting Cousin Mike and the gang,those tray’s of pizza pie’s and oysters and the lobster fest at Matamores(Mark cost the holliday inn at that one devouring 14 lobster tails,the ride back to the camp was another story)were the greatest.Mark was always there when needed helping me and my wife move to our new home and of course he  went to work after.  Our trips to the Flyers games were great (saw my 1st playoff game and the flyers won 7-2 Toronto)and met Brother – in -law Ken.I owe much of my success with the P.L.C.B. to Mark’s dedication and team worked ethic ,we were always short handed but with Mark on, it was always right before we left which reflected on our top store ratings year in and out . I was truly blessed to have crossed path’s with a true friend called Mark  that always made us feel like we were family.  From our hearts  Love You All,Bill & Georjean Caldwell
