Mark was a great man. He was my neighbor and as the years went on, he really became part of our family. Always making sure we are good, always having over the fence chats with my son (2yo) and taking him for rides on the lawn mower and taking my oldest daughter to the country club with him. He truly was a great person. Mark will be dearly missed and forever loved. To Mark's family, I am so sorry for your loss. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.

Dog, I can't thank you enough for the impact you've had on my life. You believed in this small-town, college bartender and gave her opportunities that have had lasting impact on my life for years to come! Thank you for looking out for me and taking me under your wing. Fly high over the Kohl Center and cheer on Big Red! Love, pumpkin aka Micah Richter-Busser
