Mark owned his own silk screen business in OKC for 50+ years. He was a member of Chisholm Heights, Baptist Church, Mustang, OK, where he sang in the choir and was an active Sunday school member, hosting many parties for the group in their home. He was an artist, a wonderful woodworker, and home remodeler. There wasn't a project he couldn't start! Mark loved his lake house in Sulphur, and spent time there often with Linda, family, and friends. He loved to fish, take cruises, and travel.

Mark married his high school, sweetheart, Linda, and during the early years in California, he loved, taking her on exotic California dates, and Disneyland was a highlight for them. He rebuilt cars, played high school football, and tried a little college. He played in bowling leagues with his wife and parents, always loved dogs and adopted three rescues who were his babies.

The biggest thing his friends loved was his cooking abilities, especially perfecting pizza dough and Italian cuisine from scratch having learned from his Italian and Hungarian grandmothers and mother. He loved his grandparents and spent much time with them.

God gave you an offer you couldn't refuse. We love you.
