FREDERICK MARKS

MARKS, Frederick Frederick J. Marks (Freddie) peacefully journeyed "to the other side" on July 24, 2020, at the age of 88, after enjoying a wonderful life. A truck driver by occupation and a loyal member of the Teamsters Union, his CD handle was "Barnacle Bill" and he loved being on the road. Freddie was a wonderful storyteller and the tale always started with "did I ever tell you my…story." Freddie was an avid golfer and loved to read. Even up until the end, when asked how he was doing, Freddie always responded with, "couldn't be better" and how true that was. Fred was predeceased by his former wife, Phyllis L. (Collins), and first grandchild, Robert Marks Jr., of Braintree; his parents, Lillian (Rose) and Alfred Marks of Boston; and siblings, Gregory, Joseph, Beverly and John; and his precious dog, Ruthie, whom he adored.

He is survived by sons, Frederick Marks Jr. and former wife, Joan (Woolf), Robert and his wife, Donna (Adams), of Braintree, Steven and his wife, Barbara (O'Connor), of Abington, and Michael F. Marks of Quincy, He was the "Bonus Dad" of Allison (Vaughan) Kierce and her husband, David, of York, PA, and Jason Vaughan and his wife, Sara, of Chesapeake, VA.
