Pat and the rest of the Benda family, I was saddened by Mark's passing. I hope you all can find peace knowing that Mark is finally back on the golf course and enjoying himself immensely. I will miss our quarterly talks and listening to him talk about his family (which he did often and lovingly). My deepest sympathies. Tom

Pat and Family, My deepest sympathies in the passing of Mark. Mark was always so kind to me as the "new kid" in the business department many years ago. I know how much he loved his family and spoke of all of you so much. Many prayers and thoughts go to you all.

Mark, thank you for your service and support to the graduates of Forest City High School that serve in the Armed Forces. You’re the dad of my best friend. The gift you gave us was a realistic outlook on life, the idea that nobody owes us anything and that you have to work to earn what you get out of life. Thanks Mark, we’ll miss you.
