Underneath that “tough guy” facade that I first encountered with Mark as his bartender at Spartans for over seven years, he was so soft inside. He was always ready to help out with our many repairs. He was a very smart man. At first he intimidated me but as I got to know him I would call him out if his negative side would emerge and he knew that about me. We’ve had many conversations and his family meant everything to him. Always talked about them with pride and would always ask me about mine. His absence is truly felt. We had a joke about ghosts in that building and now when the jukebox goes on all by itself I say “Hi Mark”. My condolences to his family who I have come to know several of you. May you smile everytime he crosses your thoughts.
Sincerely,
Toni Nowak
