Mark Nosack

In 1973 Mark joined the Air Force serving until 1979. He was hired by Sandy City where he worked 25 years as a Police Officer/Detective retiring in 2004. After retiring he spent some time writing the book The Re-Killing of Greyeyes. It is the story of a cold case murder in Sandy, Utah. You can find the book on Amazon.com or at Barnes and Noble.

In 2005 he put his detective knowledge and skills back into use as a Private Investigator. He began working for himself and has since realized that his boss is a bit of a jerk. As his PI business grows he has also found that his writing career is beginning to take off too. His second book, The Murder Gene: You Always Kill the Ones You Love will be published sometime this year. It is a wonderful mystery about a crusty old Sandy Police Detective who may be the saddest man on the face of the planet.

Mark has two children Amy 37 and Phil 35 and has been blessed with 3 beautiful granddaughters.

Riley went about life in a quiet way. He found good in others and joy in simple things. He attended Copper Hills Elementary, Matheson Jr. High, and graduated from Cyprus High School. He loved the time he spent participating in Jr. Jazz and high school basketball. A special thanks to Coach Butters and Coach Wilson, who through their patient teaching and confidence in Riley, helped greatly in his personal growth and development. His love for basketball never ended. If there was a ball to be had; he was bouncing and shooting it. Riley received his Eagle Scout Award shortly after graduation and was so appreciative of all the help he received through the years and in completing his project. He loved paintballing and bowling, being outdoors, snowboarding, camping, golfing, hiking, biking, riding his motorcycle with the wind in his face, and working on his Jeep. He loved to build and put things together then take them apart. His dexterity was amazing. Riley loved his friends and especially his family and the times they spent together. He will be missed by all who knew him. He is preceded in death by his two grandfathers; an aunt and cousins. He is survived by his parents, Doyle and Kathy; sisters, TeKarri (Troy) Hall, Alli (Josh) Gee, Karli Buckley, and Chelsi; nephews, Taylor, Trevor, JD; grandmothers and many aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Getting to Know You

Since this is our class blog and I'm somewhat in charge, that means I get to post what I deem worthy. With that being said I have decided it is important that we reacquaint ourselves with ourselves. (I'm sure those with a degree in English are grimacing but it works for me so the best I can offer you is, Oh Well.)

I would like to to profile each and everyone of you on this blog. So hopefully you will all be so kind to share. You can tell us what you have been up to, send pictures of your family or just give us an update on your life. Please keep in mind if you don't participate I will look under every rock, in every nook and cranny, to find something interesting about you. So Please send me information that you would like to have posted. You may email me at carol.coy@comcast.net

Remember I am very tenacious so if you don't send anything then I will have to do my own investigation on each of you. (Just kidding, or am I?)
