I received the shocking news of Mark when I arrived at work this morning. Mark was a key player with the ASI program for the Cormorant here at IMP. He loved his work and also loved his family. Mark often spoke about how torn he was working here in Halifax on something he enjoyed and how it came at the price of being away from Wanda, whom he spoke highly of almost every time we chatted. He was especially excited when Wanda came to Halifax with him, from what Mark told me they both loved the province. Mark also enjoyed sharing stories of his grandchildren. My sincere condolences to Wanda, his children and grandchildren. May he find peace.
