A resident of Pleasant Hill for over 45 years, Mark was born to Arthur and Leota Brocco in Vallejo Ca. He was a graduate of St. Vincent Ferrer High School in Vallejo and Armstrong College in Berkeley. During his career in accounting, Mark was affiliated with several construction firms and retail companies until his retirement in 2007, and also co-owned and operated one of the area's first wine retail stores. He pursued interests in geocaching, photography, birding and volkswalking, and was a fixture on the Iron Horse Trail where he and his wife walked daily with their two Norwegian Elkhounds, Ty and Q. Mark's surviving family includes his wife, Inez, children, Matthew Brocco, Kristin Brocco and Amy Stilwell (husband, Daryl), stepchildren Craig and Wendy Angove, and grandsons, Daniel and Jonathan Stilwell and Ryan Brocco.
