Happy birthday!! You’ve taught me so much about life and how to find happiness within it even if everything is going wrong. I hope this year is the best you will have :)
Fifteen years ago, a light appeared in my life, a presence that changed everything. You showed me that I was capable of more than I knew. You taught me the power of kindness and the importance of being there. On your birthday,
I want to express the gratitude that fills my heart. You’re not just someone who was there for me; you helped me rebuild and showed me what true friendship and support look like. Your impact has been immeasurable, a constant source of strength and inspiration. May this year bring you all the joy and happiness you deserve. Happy birthday, Mark!

Happy Birthday Mark R.,
I think it was back in 2010 when we met and you started coming out Asia. It didn’t take long to realize we are kindred souls enjoying everything life had to offer. We worked hard on our international business ventures and played hard, and I always admired your boundless sense of adventure. With every suggestion to try something new and different you always said YES….with your devilish grin! A grin, it seems even you were not sure what it was all about.
Our friendship will last a lifetime and I am so looking forward to seeing you here in Bali later this year.
Enjoy the celebrations with friends and family and enjoy this photo of us on the Orient Express….what a long strange trip it’s been.
Thank you Mark R.
Much Love,
Your friend Mark L.

My dear friend,
From the very early days of our friendship a few centuries ago, Mark, we’ve been able to talk about almost anything we felt like. We’ve always enjoyed doing things together, and you’ve always been up for joining adventures. During New Warriors you profoundly became aware that being the best dad possible is at your core, and it sure does show, right Josh?! And now the best granddad possible. You have inspired me!
Somewhere along the way you also decided you would be the best friend you can be. And all your friends can recall at least one time you dropped everything to be there for them. For me, you’ve been there dozens of times!
Your sunny disposition is another of your uniquely wonderful set of traits, Mark…at least you’re sunny when I see you! You love joking around, being punny, figuring out puzzles, engaging with strangers, being clever, and and and
So happy 70th, Mark. Let’s being doing this again in 10 years!
Thanks for the memories!

Dear Mark,
Happy 70th Birthday! I was so happy to receive your invitation and to hear from you. It brought back wonderful memories of our time diving together in the Philippines.
A lot of things happened after we left Philippines, the girl-my dive partner, I married her in 2024/6, my wife pregnant and our son will coming soon. Things go well after we met~
Although I’m currently in Shanghai and can’t be there in person, I hope to visit you someday. I wish you the very best on your special day and hope you’re surrounded by love, joy, and good company. May you stay healthy, happy, and adventurous for many more years to come.
Warmest wishes,

Happy 70th Birthday, Mark! It’s such a joy to celebrate this milestone with you.
Looking back, you’ve been so much more than a boss; you’ve been a true mentor and a dear friend. Your wisdom has been a guiding light, and your humor has always brought smiles to everyone around you.
I’ll never forget how you encouraged me to step outside my comfort zone and believe in myself. You didn’t just offer career advice; you opened up a whole new world for me. You gave me the incredible opportunity to travel to the USA, broadening my horizons in ways I never imagined. And those trips to Japan, Thailand, and Indonesia, along with the unforgettable experience of learning to scuba dive – you truly transformed my life.
Your 70 years have been filled with such brilliance and vitality. You’re a shining example to us all.
Wishing you a birthday filled with happiness, health, and all the things you love. May the years ahead be just as wonderful as the ones behind.
With heartfelt gratitude.

Hi Mark! That’s a big one and I hope that you celebrate it with panache! Happy Birthday!🎉 You were exceedingly kind to me when we met as strangers on an airplane as I was getting ready to move to Los Angeles. You introduced me to your Mom, who was lovely to me, and through my connection with her, I made some of my first friends in LA.
You generously helped me put together my first website and answered I don’t know how many questions in that process and were always available when I needed technical help.
You’re a man of heart and wisdom, kindness and depth. I write this to you from my new home in Harvard, Massachusetts. Just moved in on Tuesday! Wishing you a fabulous birthday, Mark. Much love. 🎂
