WILMINGTON, Del. — Healthcare textile provider MIP Inc. reports that Mark Mann, vice president of the company’s USA Business Unit, died Jan. 14.
He had been with MIP for 29 years and was one of the people most closely associated with the company and its success.
MIP says he was a gifted storyteller and had a genuine love for people and connection. His ability to make others laugh, his friendly demeanor and his compassion, made him a hit at every meeting, conference or event.
“Many of us sought his industry expertise,” the company says. “We will miss an individual that was larger-than-life with his colorful anecdotes and stories.”
In addition to his passion for people, Mann loved car racing, the company relates. He shared this hobby with his colleagues Ralph and Randy, both retired MIP sales reps, as well as with his son Tyler, who he not only coached but also built his racing carts.
And after every big race, Mann would showcase his other major passion: barbecuing. He loved to entertain family, friends and guests with delightful conversation while indulging in some incredible culinary treats that he prepared.
Mann is survived by his wife, Caroline, five children and four grandchildren
