Mark Stephen Simoneau, Sr.

WORCESTER

Mark S. Simoneau, Sr. believed in, and loved, God the Father, Jesus Christ the Son, and the Holy Spirit. He was a humble and loving man. He helped anyone and everyone and was a dad to those without families. Our children, family and friends, lost a kind soul and giving man. 

He loved being with family, fly-fishing, day trips, and eating out. As a hard dedicated worker, he worked lobstering at 11 yrs. old with his brother, and worked as a taxi cab driver, he worked melting metal in a factory, drove an ice cream truck, and helped incarcerated gang members with new lives. Mark was Human Resources Director for R. H. White Construction Co. in Auburn, MA, and Senior Human Resources Director for EMARC, a non-profit organization that works to support, serve and advocate for people with developmental disabilities and their families in Wakefield, MA.
