Mark Pascal Schlefer

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

My wife (Abby) and I had the great pleasure of meeting Mark and Marion on several occasions. Abby's father, Stuart Knowlton was Marion's cousin. We accompanied Stuart and his wife, Lynn, to Putney to participate in the interment of his sister Barbara's ashes in the cemetery near the farm. I enjoyed the wonderful conversations with both of them and the beautiful landscaping. Many years ago, I mentioned that I was a singer of both sacred and secular music, to which Mark engaged me in discourse...

RIP Mark,
I always enjoyed our conversations at the coop. I will remember them fondly. Blessings to your family during this difficult time.

Mark was one of the most fascinating people I have known. Start a conversation and let it go in any direction and Mark would thoughtfully expand the subject and deepen your appreciation of the world. He was always kind and always a gentleman. He and Marion will inspire many of us for a very long time.

Kate and Maggie, I did not know your dad, but obviously had seen him "around". I am sorry that you have lost him esp in these Times of Crazy( I bet he would have something to say about that grammatically). I got a laugh from the chicken and egg story. I am sure you have many memories that will give you some joy as time passes.Hugs to you both... it is difficult to lose a daddy.
