RIP Mark Hoese

I am numb.  Tonight I learned on Facebook that Mark Hoese passed away over a week ago on Feb. 13th, 2012.  I met Mark at Decision Point where we were in the same therapy group.  I grew close to Mark and treated him as a brother more than a friend. Mark almost always carried a smile on his face and had a knack at helping in cheering me up (when I didn't feel like being cheered up).  He was a HUGE Packers fan and he was always ravin' about how great they were.  I will never forget the Packers/Bears NFC Playoff game ('11), nor the Steelers/Packers Superbowl game.  Mark made a booty dance every time the Packers made a play.  The Steelers lost and Mark was pumped up!!
Oh, the memories...   He was a great guy who will be missed dearly by those who knew him.  Can't wait to see you in heaven.
