We knew Mark´s parents Frank & Sandy from sharing together in the Marriage Encounter in CT. They were the kindest, most giving couple we knew. They insisted us into both Hartford & St. Francis hospital volunteer ministry program when their son developed cancer. They need more time to take care of him. We were so sorry to hear about Mark´s death, but we know that he is with his wonderful mother Sandy. Our love and prayers go out to Frank at this difficult time.
With our deepest sympathies and love,

Mark was a dear friend throughout my junior high and high school years. I'll always remember our first Star Trek convention in Hartford CT, and the second one we attended together in Cleveland, OH. We lost track of each other over the years, but he was always a wise and supportive friend! My condolences to the family and all his loved ones!

Our deepest sympathy on the passing of Mark.
May you be comforted by many happy memories.
Two happy times we shared were when Mark and Susan visited our home when Mark worked in CA. Another happy time was breakfast with Mark and his father in Maui.
Love and Hugs,
Glenn and Martha

Frank, Lynne, Susan , Michael and Family- So very very sorry to learn the loss of Mark. Memories of us cousins playing together in the yard on South Park St and playing the old record player in that basement dancing to "yes we have no bananas´ May your memories bring you comfort and joy in the days ahead. With prayers of peace, Donna and Richard Marouski.
