Rosario and family, I don't know if you remember Paul and I...but, we sure remember you! You took care of all clothing needs for Paul at Yale Waterman. We just heard about the loss of your dear son. We'll be praying for all your family. Did'nt you work at Busy Beei in High School. I remember after we were married andPaul was in the USN, I shopped at that market.
God bless your dear family. Praise God the best is yet to come.

Correction: Regarding my 3/21/16 entry statement about SPHS being my alma mater. Mistakenly interpreted initials SPHS to mean SPHS for St. Paul High School in Santa Fe Springs; my true alma mater.
Again, condolences, prayers and God's blessings for the entire family. Rest in Peace Mark.

Dear Scognamillo Family:
I just learned of Mark's passing and was very saddened to hear the news. He was a wonderful man and it was my pleasure to have him as my friend at SPHS. We had a lot of fun in the Knights Organization and posed together in some ridiculous best male legs contest for the yearbook. There was no contest here as I looked pretty sad next to him. Although I have not seen him for many years, I kept up with news about him and his family through our neighbor and friend, Sara...

I enjoyed my brief meetings with Mark, we played golf a few times and waved as I went by on the number 2 tee of the golf course in Bear Valley Springs. I was surprised and saddened by his passing.
My sympathy rests with Teresa and his daughter Anjolie.

My condolences to the Scognamillo Family; so touched by his passing. I met Mark at the FAA Long Beach Tower where I am still employed and just as he left LGB. Sure wish I had gotten to know him better, because he was the friendliest nicest person who welcomed me upon coming on board. I had no idea he had attended SPHS; that's my alma mater. Rest in peace Mark, your mission is complete; a new beginning commences for you somewhere greater.
