MARK ALLAN RICCIO

Marlene, We had no idea that you lost Mark. May God hold you during this time of mourning.

What a great man...a life well lived ! Condolences to his family .

My deepest condolences to Marlene Riccio and the rest of her family. Mark was a great Soldier, Leader and Friend. He was the kind of person that would walk into a room and light it up with his exuberance and personality. At work he had a knack for making us all laugh with his sharp mind and funny anecdotes. He was also a consummate professional as a Soldier and civil servant. A man with a brilliant mind. At work he would tell us what a lucky man he was to have such a great family and...

Mark, my leader, my friend, rest in peace in sure knowledge that you have been respected and your service AMDG has been widely acknowledged. Marlene and family my deepest condolences. Rich Rinaldo

Mark was one of my brother’s best friends from school growing up and the two of them together were so funny. He was a good guy who fought a long time and I know he will be dearly missed. May you find comfort in your memories.

Loved Mark! Fondly remember him as a fellow ROTC cadet at Fordham, a dear friend my husband Tom and me.
We had the added pleasure of a short time with him, Marlene and Alex as house guests while they were transferring out of Ft. Benning, GA. We were then lucky enough to be stationed nearby in VA, where we were able to be "plank" members of the Tidewater, VA Fordham University Alumni group he pioneered.
Mark always put 110% into his passions - it was a privilege knowing him and...

We really enjoyed having Mark as a member of our Lamb's Artillery crew at Yorktown Battlefield. He was very knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and a great guy to have known. Not only did he often volunteer to be the "powder monkey", but he was Lamb's 'unofficial photographer' as he would offer to take photos for the visitors so they would have a photo of themselves with the gun and/or the crew. We will definitely raise a glass in his honor. Thank you Mark for your service and for letting me count...

I met Mark many years ago when I went to see the Fordham baseball team play at ODU. He approached me and asked if I would be willing to join a local Alumni Chapter he was going to form. I told him I would and it was the start of a rewarding friendship. If not for Mark, there would be no Fordham Alumni Chapter in this area.
Mark epitomized what every Fordham Grad should hold dear: faith, family, and service. He gave selflessly to our Chapter and I am proud to call him my friend. He will...

Marlene you have my deepest sympathy. I’ll always remember how he showed up one weekend at 555 needing a place to stay then became a permanent fixture, first with Tom and I then with you across the hall. He was a great friend back then and I’m sure he has been a wonderful husband and father. It’s been 40 years but he is not forgotten. God bless you and cherish his memory.
