Mark was a brilliant and thoughtful man who cared deeply for our residents. He was never afraid to stand up for a principle in which he believed. He was always collegial with those he served with and respectful of the public. In the years that I have known and served with him, he always demonstrated the highest degree of integrity and commitment and served with the greatest measure of honor. To Laura, thank you for sharing him with our community. Our City weeps today for the loss of a good man.”
