Mark has been part of my life my whole life. Met and became friends with Sue in jr high. Then all through high school. And the rest of our lives. Early camping and getting in trouble at Higgins. During a life change for me. I asked mark to be my young daughters God father. He said yes without hesitation and Sue her God mother. He watched over her made sure she was okay. Her whole life. All the while taking care of his own family. He was always,always there for me with my endless questions when my daughter and I were on our own. Mark was so smart so logical. One day I was struggling to open a jar and had it wedged between some construction material. He was using building/creating the beautiful home they have today. He said what are you doing. Then. Why don’t you just ask for help. Hmm are you being a little stubborn hmmmmm. How do you know about stubborn🤣. We always felt and were given so much love from Mark. As Mark would do in a heartbeat we will. Watch over and protect your live love your Sue
Our life's story has been fortunate to include Mark & Sue. From way back when many years ago in our Beaumont Troy days where we became friends through to our retirement days where we continued our friendship through many shared interests especially the mutual love of camping. Always laughter and fun times when we were together. Friendships like this are a treasure and because we have Mark and Sue in our lives our wealth is abundant. Marks memory will continue to always be present no matter where we are but he will especially be remembered when we are sitting around the campfire. There will forever remain a place for him there with a fond reflection of his humor , his goofiness, and his stories from back in the day when he lived a little more on the wild side. We love you Sue and we will miss your "partner in crime" but there will always be a smile associated with the name Mark Ryniak. He was the best.
Love Tom & Pam
So many memories of our camping trips. Monday nights for pizza. Campfire talks. Many laughs about old times at work.
We will cherish the memories of all the camping trips we took with your family and the Knoblocks when our kids were younger. Those were great times for all.
