Was very saddened to hear of Mark’s passing. My family has known the Schinlaubs ever since I can remember as we were fellow St. John’s parishioners. I always enjoyed talking to Mark. He was a kind and good person. I wish his family peace and comfort in the days that lie ahead. May your treasured and sweet memories of your time with Mark help ease the pain of losing him.
I met Mark thru his sister Karen (she and I are neighbors). We always had a good time when we were all together. Yes, he was a good, kind man and we will all miss him very much. He suffers no more. Love to him and his family.

I am saddened that Mark is no longer with me here in the Mail Center, He was a man who displayed Christ like character. He always showed great mercy and strength in all his actions; never condemning-ever. I will miss Mark for what he was as a kind friend to me.
My deepest condolences to the entire Schinlaub family. I had the great privilege to work with Mark since the mid-90’s. He was a kind, calm, reliable, dedicated and always humorous friend and coworker. He’ll never be forgotten. Rest in peace, Marko.
