Mark was the magician who made it happen. He always had the answer and if he didn’t —- he would find one for you. You will be missed @newsmark 🤍
Our show, @GlobalNational wrapped tonight by remembering a friend, colleague and as @DFriesenGlobal put it… a member of our work family. Every trip, anywhere, for 2 decades, @newsmark was our 911. The guy you could call at any time — for any problem — and he would ALWAYS help.
