Mark’s service to Acts, and his over 40 years of service to the senior living industry, was marked with faithful commitment to residents, staff and the future of service delivery. His compassion, joyful nature, and consistent manner of putting others’ needs before his own are ongoing examples of a good and faithful servant.
