R.I.P. Mark. You will be missed. God Bless You.
My sincerest condolences. I remember going to my first Kiss concert in Madison Square Garden with Mark and Peter Rayno. We sat so far in the back that you needed binoculars to see them. It didn’t matter one bit to Mark because he sang at the top of his lungs and enjoyed himself immensely. He kept saying, “Damn I just saw KISS in person!” I said “Yea but we were a football field away.” He just reiterated “Yea but I saw KISS in person!!!” He was on such a high after that. He was so fun to hang around with. He had such a great sense of humor. He will truly be missed. Bye little buddy.
Nancy, we are so sorry about Mark. He adored you and Baby! I will never forget our times at CWI, Mark smelling up the office with his shoes, comments to Lisa Costello about being a pinko commie, our many talks about politics (luckily I agreed with him!) and his laugh. He had the biggest heart, and will be missed by all he touched.
Mark, we will all miss you, more than words can express. Nancy, Mike and Louie, thank you for sharing one of the most wonderful men with Support-link and all those he helped and loved. He truly was one of the best. Be well Mark.
Our deepest sympathy for your loss. Mark was a sweet man and will be missed greatly. Our recent visit together will be remembered fondly for the joy Mark showed in everything he did and the fun we all had with family.

I worked with Mark during his “cinema days” of the 80’s, never a dull moment with mark around! What a great sense of humor. Spent a lot of time on memory lane this weekend. You’ll be missed.
Nancy – I’m truly sorry for your loss. I was very fortunate to know Mark from elementary school through high school. He was a wonderful and caring person.
I met Mark about a year 1/2 ago threw work an immediatly found a kindrid spirit:) An avid yankee fan I found myself having deep discussions with Mark about the Yankee’s’, partucularly Andy Pettitt who Mark seemed to like just as much as me. I spoke with Mark on wedsnday and he was excited about the Yankee game he and Nancy would go to on saturday; he was so excited! Im saddened by Marks passing and have lost a friend. My thoughts and prayers go to Nancy and Marks family. God Bless Mark for the wonderful impact he had on the individuals he served and those he loved best.

I am so sorry to hear of Mark’s passing. I worked with him when we were kids at the Cinemas. He had a great sense of humor and was loved by all. I am sure he will be jamming at The Great Gig In The Sky.
To Mark’s family: I don’t know any of you, but he was my dad’s coordinator through Support Link, and was so helpful, so caring for my dad. He made quite the connection with my dad, and always had a laugh with him. He was SO thoughtful, that he went out of his way to come to my brother’s funeral last year. He did so much to help my father get what he needed to make him comfortable at home. We had many good talks, and his gentle nature just glowed. I am so sorry for you loss. Peace, Mark.
