Mark dedicated over 30 years of his life to the oilfield industry before retiring. He was known for his strong will, quick wit, and compassionate heart. Mark had a passion for collecting swords, he delighted in sharing stories with those around him, and he loved strategizing, planning, supervising, and starting new projects (even if they remained unfinished).
