I went through the OCPD recruit school with Mark and we and our wives became friends. Mark and I were partners from soon after finishing recruit school until a few weeks before his death. Mark was an intelligent and highly capable person. He had a charming sense of humor and was very likable. He was an excellent officer and served the community well. He would have gone far in his career.Mark was a positive influence in the lives of those who knew him.
