He especially cherished time with his grandchildren, who lovingly knew him as "Pappy." To them, and to many others, he will forever be loved and remembered.

Mark was preceded in death by his father, Jack Terry; mother, Coleen Seigel Terry; and sister, Denise Franklin.

He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
