I am very sorry to learn of Mark's passing. I am a coin forum friend and had the privilege of meeting Mark last spring in Baltimore. We had numerous public and private conversations over the years on the forum, and I always enjoyed these. He was not only outstanding at numismatics, but he excelled at life, in general. He was a special young man and will be missed by his forum friends. My prayers and condolences go out to your family.

You raised a wonderful young man. He was such a pleasure to converse with in our line line coin community. He often was the voice of reason with a touch of flair. Mark was wise beyond his years and handled himself with great poise .No doubt Mark was headed for greatness and his choices in what to excel in were limitless.It makes me weep for what might have been.
I was thankful that i was blessed to make a friend with your son and we had good laughs, competitive digs and a lot of exotic car talk. The last I saw Mark he was sneaking out of a meeting in Chicago to say hi to me as I had to make a plane. We said our byes until next time........Heaven it is Mark. I love you dude .
To the Petty family I hurt for you and hold you in my thoughts. I wish there was more. Please accept my heartfelt condolences.
Mark was a beautiful young man..

I had the pleasure of attending your presentation to the Liberty Seated Coin Club at the Central States Coin Show in April and thoroughly enjoyed it. You and Mark both came to our table later in the show and I had a fantastic and exciting conversation about Seated Dollars with Mark. His youthful energy and excitement were both contageous and appreciated. As I continue to study and collect Seated Dollars I will think fondly of the very real impact Mark made in our community, as a collector and friend. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers; my deepest sympathies to you all.
