Mark James Effinger

Dearest Mark, Thinking of you.

1 year has passed since you went away, our lifes are not the same
we miss you each day and no one could ever take you place...

I knew Mark for just 2 years recently and he was an amazingly fun and kind person. I lost touch when I moved away and only just recently learned of this tragedy. I miss you Mark and my heart goes out to your family and other friends.

I know Mike from Bellcore / Telcordia when we were both in the Pipeline Development Program. He was always friendly to all and very dedicated.

Mark was my boss in Mformation. He was fair, respectful and such a likeable guy to work for. I have to say weeks after the event - I still think about him and wish I could have known him better - he had an energy for work that I know must have made him a very special person to know outside of work.
My heart goes out to the family and friends - their loss is so much more than his work colleagues and that most be an awful lot to live with. I hope he has peace and is driving the angels nuts...

Hi my name is Eslyn Tate. I met/worked with Mark in 1988 when I was at Bellcore. He was a good, smart guy.

I am sorry for your loss.

Where do I begin? As I read through the guest book I have a smile on my face and tears in my eyes. Mark was like no other. His positive attitude was contagious. Mark had the worlds biggest and best Nagel collection. He always had awesome taste in music, long before anyone ever heard the song "DaDaDa" by Trio he had in blasting in his basement. I will miss his senior picture. I will miss him sunbathing with iodine mixed in baby oil. There are many memories that will never be forgotten. I am...

My deepest sympathy goes out to the Effinger Family. I worked with Mark at Telcordia & he was such a cheerful person & always made you smile even when you were having a bad day. Gone but never forgotten. Be Blessed, Stacey B.
