I met Mark on the playground my first day at Otsego (Dix Street Elementary) 3rd grade in the fall of 1962. We became fast friends from the beginning and about a week later discovered that we were next door neighbors (Country – 1/2 mile). Along with our older brothers (Dave & Craig) we were like the four Musketeers all through school. Mark and I staid close through adulthood, working in the construction business. I have lost a brother and my life long friend. Mark was honest (to a fault), he always told it like it was. He was smart, funny and a shrewed business man. He loved to play golf and we enjoyed a cold one together on a few occasions. I will miss you my friend, but will see you in eternity.

He was bigger than life, forever the prankster and I cannot recall anyone who didn’t like him. Our paths never again crossed after school, but I asked after him. From the comments above, I know now that he grew to be a man who inspired love, integrity and generosity in equal measure. I will remember him in his black motorcycle jacket with a half-lidded, mocking smile on his face. Farewell, my friend.

I met Mark shortly after he stated Pulver Construction. He has done a number of jobs for me over the years and had became a very special friend as a result of the work he has done for me as well as my family members and friends. I will Miss him.

Mike and my deepest sympathy to each of you.
We are in Florida now and so we will be unable to attend services for Mark.

So sorry to hear of Mark’s passing. Mark was a student my first year at OHS. I coached him on the freshman football team and played golf together at Prairiewood G.C. many times. Prayers go out to the family.

We remember Mark always with a warm and friendly smile. He was fun and humorous and loved his boys. There was just a little mischief in his manner. He always made us feel that he was happy to see him. We ate sorry for your loss, Barb, Justin and Zack.

He was bigger than life, forever the prankster and I cannot recall anyone who didn’t like him. Our paths never again crossed after school, but I asked after him. From the comments above, I know now that he grew to be a man who inspired love, integrity and generosity in equal measure. I will remember him in his black motorcycle jacket with a half-lidded, mocking smile on his face. Farewell, my friend.
