It hurts my heart to read of Mark's passing. We worked together at Allentown High School, and he was someone I steadily looked forward to seeing after school each day. We'd chat in the halls, and though I'd often be rushing out to pick up my young son, I always felt liked we should've chatted more. Mark made me feel safe and in good company after hours at work, and I will miss his presence, bright smile, good conversation, and advice as he leaned on his broom. Thanks for bringing us joy, Mark! - Emmalyn Appelmann
