BLACKMAN--Mark
Kenneth III, died peacefully at his home in Brooklyn on September 20, 2015. Mark, born October 25, 1941 in Cedar Rapids, IA, was a consummate storyteller and his own life story is a good one, complex and interesting. From All American Boy in Fargo, ND, to graduating from Princeton University cum laude, to international banking in Bangkok, Thailand and Sao Paulo, Brazil, to silver importer in Chicago and finally as professor at LaGuardia Community College, Mark embraced the world with curiosity and humor, communicating fluently in five languages. AA was an integral part of his life in New York. He is survived by his son, Matthew, siblings John (Paddy) and Anne Collins and numerous nieces and nephews to whom he was affectionately known as "Unc." Mark, always a challenge, was nonetheless loved by his family and will be greatly missed. A private family service will be held at a later date. Raccuglia and Son handled the local services. Memorials can be made to LaGuardia Community College.
