Mr. Marks was a great friend of my uncle who passed away 2 years ago. My uncle had a great deal of respect and love for Mr. Marks. He will be remembered with love and gratitude by my family.

We are really saddened by the news. Our last memory of Mr. Marks was when he came to Shul for a Yahrtziet a few weeks back. He had misplaced his Tfillin and he was very upset. He kept saying "Where are my Tfillin? What will I do without my Tfillin?" This displayed a love for the Mitzvah! Wow. May his memory be blessed.
