Mark Vignola Obituary

He was a “rocket scientist” who studied physics, star gazing, politics, medicine, and anything else that would quench his thirst for learning. He was also a certified skydiver with 67 jumps, life guard, and ham radio operator.
He will be forever missed by his fiancée Christine Pollander and his beloved “rescue” Amber. Mark was predeceased by his parents his beloved mother Dorothea and his father, Leonard. The eldest of 7 children, he also leaves behind his 6 siblings Dawn, Noelle, Chad, Eric, Adam, and Cort.

Not sure what to say?





Christine,
I am so sorry to hear the news. Mark was my best friend growing up in Stamford, we lived next door to each other and enjoyed racing go carts up and down Gary Rd. Mark and I took up Skydiving together and both worked at Cannondale.
My deepest sympathies to you and Noel, Chad, Eric, Cort, Adam and Dawn.

I Can't tell you all how sorry I am over the passing of Mark. All I keep thinking of are all the times Noelle and I spent with him at the apartment on Hope Street. And how much he helped out when my mother died. That will never be forgotten. I hope you know your parents were waiting for him, your mother may have been a bit late but they were both there, and he is in good hands now. The hurt of this world is over for him and I like to think he's looking down to help care for all of us when we need a little extra. I want you to know, Eric, Chad, Cort, Noelle, Adam, Dawn, Barbara and Christine, my thoughts are with you all right now and if you need anything you know where to find me. My love to all of you in your time of need. Wina
