Mark S. Zoback

Dear Zoback Family,

I just googled Mark and was very saddened to hear about his passing.
I was a long-time friend of his. We grew up together in Brooklyn. We attended school together for as long as I can remember. I was so proud of him when he was elected a class officer at Tilden. We grew up three blocks from each other.

Mark always stood out from the rest of our friends. He was a true mench.

Again my heartfelt sympathies.

To the Zoback family: I just heard about Mark's passing from a friend from the Tilden H.S. days, and was so saddened. I remember Mark playing Dracula, as I was one of three "Dracula's brides." It was so much fun, and I have only good memories of Mark as kind, smart and overall just a great guy. Wishing you peace and comfort. I will pass the word to anyone I may know from those days as well.

Dear Ronni,
My deepest sympathy upon Mark's passing. He was a wonderful, kind, funny man. I always enjoyed speaking with Mark and treasure three days he and I spent at a conference sponsored by the Graustein Foundation. I had just started working in Pomfret and hadn't seen Mark since the old NARES days. We spent those three days catching up and Mark sharing valuable advice and information as I embarked upon my career as a special education administrator. He was truly a wonderful...
