Dear Helen and Rob Our deepest condolences on the loss of your dear brother. Lorne Bumstead and Charlene Carr
Mark was a kind, gentle, caring soul of a man of few words and a great sense of humour, even Miss Kitty knew this. Mark enjoyed helping others and loved being a handyman, one of his many passions, Marg being one of his others. Mark was always willing to lend a hand whenever he could with any projects people had in mind. No project was too small or too big for him to undertake and he did it with ease and care. We always enjoyed his visits to Nova Scotia and PEI. Mark and Fredi shared the same politic views and the same views on CNN. Mark gave his uncle in laws so much laughter as he was learning the game of cribbage. We have so many wonderful memories. We will sadly miss Mark, but never forget him. Love and hugs, Uncle Art and Aunt Fredi.
Margaret, Please accept my condolences on the passing of your husband. I never met him, but he must have been a wonderful man because you chose him as your partner. Ella macCulloch

So saddened. Our condolences from PEI we are going to miss him and his big warm smile. He had a good sense of humour, despite being from Ontario. He learned to play cribbage while explaining how to play ukere. Mark had a special connection with my mom, based on perogies and cabbage rolls and he enjoyed cheering the Bruins with dad. Will miss him.

Dearest Maggie and Family, We're not really sure what to say other than he was taken too early from all of us and that he will be truly, truly missed. Mark wasn't in any of our lives for a very long time but it will take us a very long time to get over losing him. Mark was a man of few words but when he was comfortable with you he would regale you with his many stories, love for his Bruins and Giants and his very special companion Miss Kitty aka Psycho Cat. We will be eternally grateful to him for the love, stability, comfort and peace he brought to the life of our wonderful friend Maggie. Rest in Peace our dear friend. Until we meet again.. God's blessings be upon you, Debbie and Brad
