You beat me to it. I was just going to post this.

No reason was given. He did say it was not due to his wife's cancer coming back, although that would be reason enough.

This is sad news no matter what the reason. He ran a good business. I never had one time when he didn't give me great service.

Wow, that's a real bummer. Mark had great customer service, and high quality decals. He did a number of custom jobs for me, StickerShock will be missed! Hope he's doing OK.

I have had the pleasure to see Mark in person and discuss historical events in consumer rocketry. Besides making decals, he flew lots of HPR rockets, worked for Aerotech, and many other adventures. I have considered closing U.S. Rockets several times but people keep asking for the product. I suppose I will die with a body tube and a centering ring in my hand, but I will keep the propellant business going through apprentices that are now fully trained and running fast and hard.

God speed Mark.

Just Jerry

Anybody want to buy a running kit operation?
