Condolence: Dear Wallis family.
Please accept my most sincere condolences. I work at AC and though I never had a chance to fly with Mark I spent a week with him in class at CAE. He truly defined the phrase a "gentleman and a scholar". Not only was he a ray of sunshine every morning he was one of the most thorough professionals I've come across in this industry. I am certain everyone that has met Mark would say the same. May he always be remembered as such. My thoughts are with you and Mark.

Condolence: To the Wallis Family; I am a co-worker that flew with Mark many times at Canadian on the DC-10. I am in complete shock to read of Mark's death. It seems like I just talked to him at work. Please accept my sincerest condolences. Dave Schigol

Condolence: We are so sorry to hear that our Canadian friend Mark passed away.
We share such good memories, as well in Heemstede as in Milton. We spend such good times and Mark always showed us in his special way the things he loved to do and want to share with others. We are very proud we have known him and we are going to miss him. Elizabeth, Allison, MelanieKate and MacKenzie please accept our sincere condolences.We wish you all strength and you are all in our minds. Theo,Sandra,Theo,Heleen and Marc Moorman

Condolence: Mark was simply one of a kind and a winner in the hearts and minds of everyone who had the privilege and pleasure of meeting and knowing him. He was not only a good man, but a great one in so many ways. His zest for life, positive attitude, genuine interest and concern for others and his community, his immeasurable and lasting love for his family, will endure. I intend and will make a concerted and more dedicated effort to take a page from his book and continue to "pay it forward" and do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Because that was the essence of Mark - he lived every single day of his life with integrity, honesty, curiosity, adventure and passion. And don't forget his winning smile! He was one of the finest people from one of the best families I know. I know Mark is flying high above watching over and guiding his family with everlasting love. So next time you see a sunrise, think of Mark and remember "Here Comes the Sun" and it's gonna be alright." Mark, you truly will be missed. My deepest sympathy to Elizabeth, Allison, Melanie and Mackenzie.

Condolence: We were both so sorry to hear of Mark's passing, we both flew with him on many occasions, he was the consumate Pilot and always fun to be with,our thoughts and prayers are with his Family that he so cherished.

Condolence: I have good memories of Mark and his big smile. Always a warm human, he was a good pilot and offered not a bad word for others. He was a nice man. My sympathy to those he touched and left behind.

Condolence: I was so sorry to hear of Mark’s passing. Mark and I flew together many times before I left Canada in 2001. He was a pleasure to work with and always had a ready smile. He will be sorely missed. My sincere condolences. Stefanie Curland

Condolence: Dear Elizabeth and Family,
I was most saddened to receive word of your loss. I flew often with Mark when he was still a “First Officer”. Mark was not only a very competent pilot, but the finest of a gentleman to fly and spend time with. He often spoke of his lovely wife and kids whom he had loved very much indeed. It seems at times like this “Only the good die young”, Mark was truly a good and loving man, and he died too young . I am sorry for your loss. I always looked forward to those times we were scheduled to fly together, but now he has truly risen to a higher level. May he rest in peace, and to his family “Shalom”.

Condolence: It was great to have a Canadian friend in Holland at the start of our time at Martinair. Mark and I flew together on a regular basis and became good friends. Never a dull moment with Mr. Sparky. We called him Sammy because his eyebrows grew together at the top. He looked like Sammy in Cheers. He had the gift of the gab and was super positive. Our wives, Elizabeth and Mariette also became friends. it was a good time. Mark went back to Toronto and eventually Air Canada. I stayed on at Martinair. During a rare visit to Toronto I was able to come for a visit in Milton one evening. So glad I did. It was good to talk, hear what was going on and see Mark, Elizabeth and the girls. Even then he was upbeat and positive. Thank you for the good times, thanks for being a great friend.
