Prayers to his family during this time. Will be missed on here and glad I saved his messages from the past talking about tractors and questions that I had. Prayers from WA.

I am saddened by the news of his passing.  My thoughts are with the family in their time of grief.  I feel blessed to have learned from him on this forum.

After Roxann had passed Mark contacted me to meet him for lunch down in Coats MN as he was going to visit his grandson who was in the hospital . We spent a couple hours talking over lunch with him buying - said next time i could - well looks like that will be missed time to reciprocate ... Enjoyed the time and it was a chance to get out and get away from the time alone . Might be someone close to the family can return the favor here in a month or so if not to his family to another who has a loss in their lives they need a few minutes away from . 
 May his family find comfort in this time knowing that beyond this life is a time of wonder we can not imagine in the care of the Lord.

If someone has the time it would be interesting to create a web page of Mark's descriptive comments on AC designs and internal politics and decisions while he worked there based on his posts to this forum which showed much insight. A history of AC as seen by Mark.

That's a good idea Gerald. I wonder if that's something Austin would add to his Allis history pages?

So true, so true. Prayers to his family for God's peace and comfort. I really looked forward to his posts on the 8000 Series.

Wow, that blind-sided me. Very sad news. I was really looking forward to meeting Mark in person some time. Like ILGleaner said, he had a big hand in designing the best tractor ever built. Thanks for informing us of this tragic loss. Darrel

Very sorry to hear this sad news. Mark was a great source of much history of his time at Allis Chalmers. A great guy and he will surely be missed by those who frequent this Forum.   Prayers for his family from here.

Mark will be truly missed. Over the past decade, his shared knowledge of AC equipment helped me fix/repair several items. I too enjoyed his latest 8000 series cab thread. Furthermore, he shared his insights of the 1984 Duetz buyout of AC. It's not everyday that you get firsthand stories like him visiting with Duetz's engineers. Thanks Mark! Prayers for his beloved wife & family.

Rest in Peace Mark - you will be missed.

I have no idea how it would be done, but could Mark's posts be saved in the knowledge base section? It would sure be fantastic to archive his experiences.

RIP Mark. Condolences and prayers for his friends and family.

Recently I decided I should start writing up a history on the 8000 series design. I sent Mark a PM about a month ago and asked if he would do an interview. He was delighted to do so and we decided to do something this fall. I only live about 90 miles from Rochester so it could easily be done. I drug my feet too long I guess.
