He traveled internationally throughout his professional years,  experiencing much of the world. He was an avid gun collector, fond of target shooting  with his brother Mike in his younger years and was a proud member of the National Rifle  Association.

In his retirement and final years, he mostly enjoyed relaxing at home with his  family, surrounded by the peaceful mountains of Arizona.

Mark will be missed and his memory will live on in the hearts of those who loved him.
