Mark and I were teenage (well, from age 10-13) friends when our families were living at Dorchester Apartments in Arlington, VA. Mark’s father was working for Senator Hubert H Humphrey, and Mark arranged for us to work for Senator Humphrey in the summer stamping books for MN state fairs. (We did that work in the Senate Office Building). I remember Mark being a super nice guy. It was great to read that Mark went on to create a large loving family. May he RIP.

This is a huge loss for many people and for the town of Harmony. Mark was a smiling, soft spoken, hilarious at moments, honest and “hands down” thee greatest family man I have ever had the honor of knowing. His love for his family so very obvious, if you happened to be lucky enough to be one of “his” people, you have gotten to experience the Mark Haugerud love as well. You will be greatly missed. My heart aches for your family♡ Sending hugs and kisses and well wishes.
