Erin, Mark was an amazing educator. I am blessed to have had the opportunity to work with him while we were at Bruce Guadalupe. Both of my boys also had him for a teacher, but that is not what they remember the most. They remember the times after school when he would come down to the gym to play with them and Laura's girls. They remember going to a Buck's game with him and the other teachers. So many of his students remember specific lessons and the things he said and did to make them feel special. He was an inspiration to so many people. He will always be remembered. He was a true blessing to those whose lives he touched.
