I am sorry to here of Mark's passing. I never met Mark , but I enjoyed his humour, stories and pictures on the forum. Mark will be greatly missed by us all. I haven't been on the main board for a few days and I noticed his picture this morning (oh no) and then noticed the announcement.  :'(

Dear Aaron and the Mathys family,

I knew there was a reason the sun wasn't shining this morning, now I know why.  :'(

I am so sorry to hear this sad news. Mark was a kind and gentle man who I so much enjoyed talking with at the Piggy Roast last summer. He shared all his trips to Germany with me and that was fun and added to the excitement of my trip. We will miss Mark.

I am very sorry for your loss. Please let us know if any help is needed, he has  many friends here who would be happy to reach out and lend a hand.

Patty

When I saw Mark's pic in the corner I knew it was bad news.
I am very sorry, having a hard time understanding why good folks are taken away so soon.
We are thinking of and praying for you and your family.

Aaron,
Judy and I would also like to offer our condolences to you and your family. I considered Mark to be one of my closest forum friends, we teased one another on a quite regular basis. Mark and his humor are going to be sadly missed on the forum.

We're gonna miss ya Stinky Peterson.   :'(

  Aaron, Couldn't respond when I first saw your Dad's picture in the corner.

  He was a fine person and his humor was enjoyed by all. Be proud of what your dad acconplished and of all the friends he made, throughout the world. He will be missed here, but, especially in your family's life.

  Our deepest condolences from the Matthews Family.  :'( :'(

God be with Mark M and family.

Mark will be missed by all.  I have a hard time expressing myself, as my heart is very sad.   Mark was a true friend and a caring person.

Aaron,

I only had privilidge of knowing your farther here on the forum; I wished I had meet him in person.  There are no words I can type here that will ease you and your family's pain.  All I can say is some day the sun will shine bright again for you.

For me it has been 22 years, nine months since I buried my farther, I have counted many sun rises without him.  For now it will hurt, but one day the sun will rise and be a friend again.

If you ever need someone to shoot the beeze with send me a note.



Mark

I'm speechless,  your fathers posts were the first I followed when looking at getting a mill.  I followed his photos of it being assembled and the fun he had sawing and retrieving logs. :( :( :(
