Growing up with Mark in Horace , I. always admired his attitude and his out look on life. About 18-20 years ago I ran into Mark at the bowling alley in West Fargo, my brother Art pointed Mark out to me so I went over to chat . He asked if I was Larry, I told him I was the other
Larry. We had a good laugh over that one. He was a good man , God Bless
