    I will always remember Mark with that mischievous smile on his face. And how passionate he was about his mushroom hunting. He started his fascination with coins when he was barely walking. And heaven forbid Dad taking him to the landfill. Mark would bring back more than they took. My sincerest condolences to his children. He loved being your Dad. Love, Aunt Ginger

    I am so sorry to hear about Mark. I have known him since he was 1 or 2 years old and saw him often when I’d go visit Anna there in Eudora. The Besser family holds a special place in my heart. I will be at the visitation. Love Debbie
