Mark Foito senior was and is the greatest father I have ever known. He was the kindest and most loving man I ever met. I was a friend of the family but i was treated as a member of the family. Nancy, Tyler and not to mention Foito they are family to me and they will remain family to me for the rest of my life. They are and will forever remain as family to me.

Tyler and Family,

Even though I was extremely fortunate to be friends with Mark and Tyler, I never knew Mr. Foito personally; but from what I saw you were a great man. You could rest easy, because you've done a great job of raising your children right. Foito family remember, as long as he is remembered in your hearts he has never left. R.I.P.

Mark Foito was a close friend and his was very thoughtful of others, and would do anything in his power to help anyone who needed it through any situation.

We will all miss Marks ability to be well mannered, courteous, loving, generous and very helpful.

He will be missed dearly by myself, Nancy, Tyler, Tanya, Mark, Zachary, Destiny and all of his many other friends.

He was also able to listen carelully in conversation, and able to offer very helpful advice whenever anyone needed it.

I'm sure he will be watching over everyone he cared about, especially Nancy & Tyler who must be having a very hard time with his parting.

If there is anything I at all can do to help you all in the future please don't hesitate to call. I'll always be there for you, as Mark was for me.

My deepest regards to all family members and close friends. Mark is surely a person who will never be forgotten, In my eyes he was an angel in human form.

I wish all his family and friends the best of wishes in the future!

Dear Nancy and the entire Foito family: When I thought I knew what I was going to write I saw what my daughter had written and I said"That is what I was going to say". And Nancy when I saw what you wrote I thought "I was going to say that too". I will say what I know to be truth. Mark was the total family man from day one. I remember when Tanya was born how the light in his eyes got even brighter and he was so proud to be a dad. My daughter at a young age would come home from spending time at your home and she would say how funny Mark was or how silly Mark was or how he flew her in the air like an airplane etc. She would giggle when she related these moments. Oddly enough, a couple of days before we learned of his passing she decided to pull out my old wedding pictures(as you know Mark was one of the 3 best men) and she commented on Mark with once again a smile on her face. I was surprised that she remembered because she hadn't seen him in years but he left a lifelong impression on her that compelled her to leave a message on his guestbook.

Nancy I know that you and the kids came first always and that is a rare and special gift that many people will never experience in a lifetime. He was a wonderful Dad and I got to experience that first hand when he would effortlessly have a child slung on each arm and just grin. The precious memories your children have will one day outweigh this tragic loss. Good Dads should be able to live forever. I know you will find comfort in the love of your children and grandchildren. May they be able to give you the hugs and kisses you need to heal you at this sad time. With Love

Dear Nancy and Family:
I am one of Mark's cousins (Aunt Vivians youngest) and I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Although I am one of the youngest cousins I do remember Mark as one of the "cool" older ones at all of Nannies parties, and he will be sadly missed. Our heart goes out to all of you ...Jill & Michael Popowich

Deapest sympathy to Nancy and family. Mark was a kind gentle loving soul who would always give his shirt to help someone in need. He will be greatly missed by myself and all who knew him. He loved my daughter like his own grandchild and she will surely miss the "tickle monster". Peace.

I grew up with the Foitos and to hear of the death of Mark deeply saddens me! I remember his laugh and his sparkle but mostly how he loved his family! He was always so welcoming and kind. He was in my father's wedding party and I recently took out those pictures just to see the fun that was had. I am glad that the last memory that I will have of him is at a celebration looking young and vibrant. My deepest sympathy to the entire family! He was a great man who is now in a completely peaceful place!

My dad was the best father I could ever ask for. He went above and beyond to make sure his family was always happy and comfortable. He will be sadly missed but I know deep down inside he will always be with me.
