Dale Talbott says
What a guy! He’s my father but he is a friend to everyone he met. He would talk to you, help you, he would do whatever was in his power to help you down the road. He is greatly missed even after almost 7 years. I’ll never forget sitting by him when he was sick and he reached out to pat me on the head. I was in my 50’s but I was still his little boy. God, you broke the mold when you made my father. I guess you were ready to “pat him on the head”. He deserves it. I love you Dad and I’ll miss you all the days of my life.

It with my deepest sympathies to hear of your loss of Mark. I worked for Mark at Conoco in Ponca City. Mark was a great guy and a great boss. I know Mark will be greatly missed.
