| About Mark: |
Mark died suddenly in November of 2005. Survived by his wife Joan, sons Matt and Brian, and daugher Nichole - he is greatly missed. Mark had a large hand in making Merdes & Merdes, P.C. what it is today. His contributions to Alaska's legal community were always positive. He cared about his clients. He loved his family. He was a good man. |
