Saddened to recently learn about the passing of Mark. I knew Mark for many years while he dutifully attended to the needs of his Mother, Lois, and would regularly talk with him at Second Reformed Church following the morning service. Like his parents Mark was gracious, had a very kind, accessible disposition and was considerate during our conversations. He would occasionally talk about his life growing up around Los Altos and San Jose, California. I would occasionally see Mark with his engineering friends touring the Gilmore Car Museum shows in Hickory Corners. He was also a regular guest at the Gilmore Museum's winter season Sunday afternoon automotive history lectures. Mark especially enjoyed working with Volvo automobiles. Last summer (2017) he described his current major engineering project of installing a central vacuum cleaning system in a large new mansion currently under construction on the north shore of Gull Lake. Very saddened to learn that Mark had passed away suddenly at his home in Schoolcraft in early December 2017. My thoughts and prayers to his surviving family members in Kalamazoo, San Jose and the west coast.
