Sorry for your loss. Marc was a great man to work with. He shared many stories with us here at the office. He loved his family more then anything and was so proud of his children. I will miss him so much.

Although I didn't know Marc personally I have experienced him thru a good friend, Chris Estevez. My condolences to his family and friends and all who's lives he has touched. He joins my Father Anthony in eternal peace and joy with our maker. Although we miss them and I still cry so much for one more conversation with my dad I know he is with God in and he has returned home after his journey here with me/us. Peace to you all With love, John Raconzella
