I will always remember Mark from Cleveland High School days as a happy and fun classmate.
So sorry to hear of Marks’s passing. As a teenager Mark and Pauline were very good to me. They even put their trust in me as the babysitter of their children which I did for several years in the 1960’s. Although I have lost touch with the family, I do have fond memories and even once worked with their daughter Mid at Weisfield’s Jewelers. I lost my mother to cancer last year and send my sympathy to the family. Also remember spending weekends at the Sea Tac and Evergreen race tracks watching Mark race against my stepfather-Van Benham who passed away in 1990.
With our sympathy-
had a lot of good times racing at Sea Tac –Monroe and others with Mark.
To my Father and all his followers. My family and I would like to thank everyone who was blessed by knowing him.It sure is tough not having him around in our daily life but their is not a minute that goes buy that I personally don’t think of him.I loved my father more than life itself,but I know if I don’t get on with my life my father would feel he failed.I will never allow for that to happen even though it hurts so much to wake every day and him not being here in person I believe he is with me in spirit.If you get this message pops just remember I love you very much and I will try to make you proud.Take care of mom as I know shes already taking care of you,say hi to Joe I know hes already looked you up.Rest in peace with all my love Marty

I’ll always remember how you took my husband Charlie under your wing when he drove tow for you. I think of you almost every day whe I drive by the old lot. You always held a special place in Charlie’s heart, so hopefully you are now flipping each other jokes again. Bless you Mark, and your familiy.
Mark, we will all miss you. You were an inspiration to the club.
GOD BLESS YOU MARK AND FAMILY.OUR PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU! LOVE CORKY & CHERE STEBBINS & FAMILY

Martin, Matt and the Rosler Family
What a special man.
A friend who would go out of his way to help you.
We appreciate all he did to help us when our Todd passed.
We appreciate that he cared.
A man who wouldn’t hesitate to share his wicked, wonderful sense of humor with you.
My family and I didn’t get to see as much of him as we would have liked to in the last few years.
But, he often had lots to do and he was truly one of the busiest people I have ever known.
Mark seemed to love life and enjoyed the ride.
He adored his family.
Our hearts go out to all who knew and loved him.
He was a class act all the way.
We will miss him greatly.
Thanks for all the memories Mark.
Rest in peace dear friend.
We were very sad to see Mark’s obit in the paper this morning. We knew Mark back in 1955/56 when he used to work for us part-time in our gas station on Beacon Hill. He let Ray ride the big Harley he had at that time & it scared the dickens out of Ray. Mark & Pauline had their wedding reception at our home at 95th & Roosevelt. Seems he & Pauline took a side trip to 1st Ave. and invited all the motorcyclists they found there to their wedding reception. It was a mad house! Mark was a great guy. It’s to bad we seemed to loose contact with him and his family. Ray & Kathi
To Marty & Matt and the Rosler Family,
What a guy! It was always good to see him as he would always have a “good” joke or two and/or a story to tell. A very trusting person if he knew you well. Even though I only knew him for a few years it seemed like he was family. I’ll miss him.

I know you’re going to have the last laugh, Grandpa. You always do. As sad as it may be for us, you and Grandma are together again. The way it was meant to be. 39 years was a long time but now you’ll have each other forever. Take care of her…as I’m sure she will you. Say Hi to her and remember…when she smacks you upside the head, it’s only because she missed you. We love you Grandpa.
Shawna, David & Preston
I knew you as my father, we didn’t always get along. I did give you a beautiful granddaughter in which she gave you a handsome great grandson. I loved you differently than Matt or Marty. I will always miss you and when I ride my Harley I will think of you more – because you’re the one who said I could do it and I did – all the way to Sturgis a couple times – for you. I know that your in a better place – you have no pain – it’s us that have to let you go. You’re with mom now and Addy – they will show you the way. I will always love you and think of you in my own way.
