Mark David Reiss

Joan and mark were friends from the minute we met them. My mountain biking buddy and our century rides taught us about resilience ,intergenerational friendship and generosity. They opened their home for holidays and welcomed us into their fold in so many ways. I have thought of them often these past few years and am saddened to read of their passing. They were an epic couple who left imprints of optimism, curiosity and only footprints behind.

Mark is remembered for his advocacy of Brit Shalom, which ends harmful mutilation of boys.

I just read about Mark's passing, and I wanted to extend my sincere condolences to the family. I met Mark and Joan when we all lived in Sacramento. Although I served as a financial advisor to them, we became friends as well and when they moved to SF, I would drive in to see them, to review accounts, and then to just share time over dinner and wine. I have wonderful memories of the time we spent together. They both were interesting and talented people and the world will miss them.

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.
