Mark was a 1973 graduate of Lake Central High School and where he met his wife Linda. A skilled and passionate mechanic from small engines to trains, he was always ready to lend a hand in this area especially to his sons. Taking time to train them with his knowledge he had acquired as an expert mechanic. He found great joy in spending time with his family and friends, often sharing his grilling expertise, stories, and great bbq. He had his own orchard in his yard, consisting of apples, pears, and peaches in honor of his father. His friends in his neighborhood named him “the mayor“ and often he was seen riding around on his scooter visiting and helping in any way that was needed.
