I worked for Burien Towing for 8 months. Health problems forced me to leave. Working for the Storer’s is a Gift I will carry with me. It took me this long to write due to sadness.Not only Mark’s death, but most especially Brian’s. I have a son with learning disabilities. I discussed my son with Brian Storer. From then on he would check on my son;ask about him. He gave words of wisdom for him.Brian Prayed for my son’s happiness. My son is “Bryan”.Brian Storer UNDERSTOOD my child because he also struggled with an LD. He remembered cruelty that kids heaped upon him. Brian Storer taught me forgiveness, told me I was a “good Mom to a special Boy”. I am forever changed having worked for the Storer’s. God Bless you all. Forgive me for taking so long to write. My son attends a private Christian School. Brian Storer suggested this option for my son. My son is now thriving.I think Brian Storer is my son’s guardian Angel. He Blessed a Secretary who briefly worked for his Dad and Mom.

I would like to send my condolances for your loss. I knew Mark many years ago, when we were both 16 – he was my first love. We met at Selleck School & even went to a summer camp together. It’s been nice reminiscing about him in my mind & also with family & friends that remember him from Selleck School.

I’m so glad to hear about the happy life that he had.

Again, I am so sorry for your loss.

Sincerely,

Kathy Dunham Mandelin

With a heavy heart, we all say “Goodbye” to Mark and Brian. I will always remember Friday evenings just before closing. Mark would come cruising through the parking lot, park in his special spot behind the bank and pound on my window as he would try to sneak by. Mark always knew how to entertain us all-with a joke, stray rubber band or a stress ball tossed about the lobby. We will all miss you. Our thoughts and prayers are with Lynette, Christy, Jared, Teresa and your family.

Mark was a remarkable person. Having spent the last 2 years I think, in your home on Monday nights, God Group Small Group will always be remembered. We had several conversations about some private things that will help me in the future. The last time we were all together at their home Mark had gone out and bought the things needed for Smores. From that day forward Smores will always have a special meaning. There was the day we were at the stop light beside you and you decided to shoot a big rubber band at me. Yeah, it hit me. I sent it back but missed him. He will greatly be missed. He touched each and every person that knew or met him in a different way. His strength in the Lord God was wonderful. I will miss you very much Mark. I will see you again when God takes me home. You gave so much love and understanding. We will all love Lynette forever for you. Thank you for being there for Gerad, he will always remember you.

Love and Prayers to Lynette and the Storer Family. Mark and Brian will be missed very much. God has great plans and 2 more angels! I used to sing with Lynette in choir at CBSR for 7 1/2 yrs and would see Mark out in the pew, or walking in late after working. He was a great man of God, gentle, caring. Words cant express what will be missed…

Mark and I started our Sea-Tac area businesses Ken’s Baggage at about the same time and continued to be mutual advocates. My company referred endless customers to him and he always took the time to personally stop in and express his gratitude, or to drop by a box of candy at Christmas, or some other token of his appreciation. He was a wonderful individual who will be sorely missed by all who had the fortunate opportunity of meeting him.

My sincerest condolences to his wife, his family, personal friends and work associates.
