We were sorry to read of the passing of my old friend. Mark was truly a special person. He was kind, compassionate, and a friend to all. Our sympathy to your entire family. The Nittany Lion will wear tears for a long time.

Mr. S was a phenomenal teacher who left an indelible mark on my life. I was a sheltered 11yr old 'new kid' in his 6th grade class & he helped me immensely in the transition to my new surroundings. He was a great teacher to his many students, but he went further than the textbooks & also planted the seeds of how to succeed in life. I will share some fond memories of him with my kids at the dinner table tonight. My sympathies to his family.

Deb and family, so sorry to hear of Mark’s passing. His dad and my dad were brothers. He kept in touch with my mom regularly until her passing last year. I know he knew my husband and I moved recently. I think he called by brother in December. May he Rest In Peace with the angels.

I am so sorry for your loss. Mark and I met in 1969 on our first day as teachers. We developed a friendship then that never ended. Our bond was working with kids, PSU Football, Villanova Basketball, the Eagles and our joking about being "hoofties" from small towns. The impact he made on students, friends and family will live on. I will never forget you, my friend. Rest in peace.

Sorry to hear of Mark's passing. He was a friend of mine for many years. We were tennis partners at Northampton playground during summer as teenagers. Classmates at Allentown Central Catholic. Shared some exciting Penn State games together. He was a fine man, kind and generous. May he rest in peace.
