| Mark was the most unselfish man I have ever known. At Haddad Ford Parts Department and Fisher Auto Parts, he was patient, professional, personable, and kind. More than customer oriented, he simply wanted to be helpful and do the best job. Through ups and downs, I never knew him to lose his positive attitude and humble perspective. Everyone considered him a friend. Rest in Peace, Mark. | | from: Peter Fohlin | on: 03-07-2017 |
