Every day was an adventure with him. He touched many lives with his warmth and wonderful personality. He always put a smile on our faces with his great sense of humor. Those who love him may feel that we did not have nearly enough time with him, but we know he packed a lot of living into his life. He loved his family and his many friends and never missed an opportunity to spend time with them. He loved to dine out, sightsee and travel; always making new friends along the way. He was up for any adventure and leaves many wonderful memories for his loved ones to cherish. He knew how to live life to the fullest.

His light will continue to shine in the many lives he has changed through his organ donation. What an amazing soul! He has definitely made his own indelible MARK on this world, as a man who does what's right, without hesitation.
