Mark I remember meeting you while attending a girls dance party in your parents house on Jackson, 7th grade with your sister Charmaine (Hunt Junior High) 70s the older cute big brother! Our paths crossed again when Molly and Zach were youngsters and us not on the family path as of yet. Wayne and I came up and watched you and Kim lay your paver driveway, (there was nothing you could not do). We were awed with the perfection and hard work you put into everything with a smile! Your pride of your family, and your accomplishments, your fun side of humor. Boating, jet skiing,vacationing, (Banks Lake camping getting in trouble playing Madonna too loud and too late in the park).
Just last week Wayne and you walked down memory lane on the phone and were making plans for the future retirement times together, living it up in the dessert (CA) rekindling old times. "Wayne said if he knew that was his last phone call with you he would still be talking"!
Save a spot for us in Heaven, with a boom box in hand, playing music as long and loud as we want. ""But maybe not Madonna "
Love and miss you Wayne and Gretchen Hogan
I am deeply saddened by Marks passing. Mark was so full of life, ambition, energy and so much more. Mark was 9 years old when I met my future wife (Gay). Even then he was inquisitive and energetic. I took him skiing,riding through Point Defiance 5 mile drive at sixty miles an hour, let him puff on a cigarette, and generally exposed him to life forbidden fruits. I also I shared with him the better values in life that carry us through life. My wife Gay always thought of Mark as her sweet little brother.
It was an honor to see Mark grow into being a man, raising a wonderful family, and being so successful in business.
My heart goes out to Shirley, Rochelle and Charmaine, Zach, Molly, and everyone else extending out from Marks reach and touch.
And Mora, Mark was so lucky to have met you and shared the years that he did with you.
And Mark, how come you always have to be first? You just wanted to beat me (again) didn't you!!
Mark has always held a special place in my heart. When I was in my early twenties and going to college he always made sure I had work. Even when times were tough. Now don't get me wrong, he would razz me about wanting to be a nurse, but it was all in good fun. Don't worry Mr.Harlow, I didn't end up being a nurse but I don't think that's what really mattered to you anyway. I will never forget the generosity and guidance. Thank you for being a friend and mentor.
I will always be grateful to have worked for Mark , that is how i met him. He always took time to say hello when he would come onto the job site. He took out time from his busy day to get to know you , even if it was for a few minutes of conversation. I'm so sad to hear that he is gone . I will always remember his kindness he showed me . To the Harlow family i'm deeply sorry for your great loss.
Sincerely , Beth Davis.
