Everyone that knew Mark said that he knew a lot of useless information that most people didn’t pay much attention to.

Thank you for the kind words about Mark. Yes he was a very generous person,
I am so glad he was a good friend to you and amny others.
Thank you very much.
Cecelia-When I met you in the church and you said who you were and where you had met Mark I was taken aback! I couldn’t believe you had driven all that way by yourself to attend his memorial service. It meant so much to us that he had such good friends that were also watching out for him. He was a “fix-it” type of guy.We truly were blessed by your presense that day. Thank you again.
Was sad to here of his passing.
Thank you very much. We always said he had a head full of useless knowledge! And we all heard his stories.
Mark was a student of mine at Fargo North back in the 1980’s. To say he was a “character” would be an understatement. He loved to learn and had a great sense of humor. I’m sure he will be greatly missed by his family and friends. My condolences to his family.
Thank you very much.
Mark was my coworker and employee of mine at Sheyenne Appliance for 20 years. We called him Jay because of another Mark at our workplace. He liked to describe our relationship like “an old married couple”, you can bicker throughout the day but still liked each other at the end of the day. You could set your watch by when he arrived for work. I was always amazed how he could rebuild a washing machine’s transmission with his eyes closed! He will be missed by anyone he touched in his life. My condolences to his family.
Thank you very much. He loved working there. He loved tearing stuff apart and putting it back together all his life!
Mark was my neighbor when he was a child. He was a few years older than my son David. When Mark worked at Sheyenne Appliance He chose the name Jay, as opposed to have a Mark and an other Mark. Jay did a lot of shop work rebuilding washer transmissions and reconditioning appliances for the used market. He even devised a method for removing fan blades from air conditioners without damaging them when replacing a motor. Jay had a very good relationship with apartment Maintenance people. When they had questions about appliances they felt comfortable getting information from Jay. Jay will be missed, That is for sure.
Thank you for the kind words. We remember you too, living behind us. Mark loved working at Sheyenne Appliance. He told me many stories about different things he ripped apart. and also about the differnt meals that were shared. He even got some recippes from me to share with you guys. He thought that was fun!
