Dear Gina, Francine and family,

I was so saddened to hear from my brother Dennis that Mark passed away so young. I haven't seen Mark since our 1979 high school graduation, but have fond memories of him as a friend and neighbor. I remember how he would turn the corner onto Cleveland Avenue to give me a ride to NFHS on cold snowy days so I didn't have to walk. I also remember hanging out in his Mom's beauty parlor with my Mother, Eva, and his cheery Mom always making me feel welcomed. My heart goes out to you and your family. I will always remember Mark's beautiful smile.

Sincerely,
Christina (Conti)& Tim Payne

Dear Friends and family:

It is with regret that I extend my sympathy in the all to untimely passing of my friend, Mark Bax. It is hard for me to find words to express the grief that I experience.

Mark was a kind soul, wise beyond his years. He was able to perceive life as it appeared as opposed to how he perceicved it to be.

Mark worked at Certo Brothers for a short period of time. He was trusted with total control of the warehouse during evening operations. He never deviated from his responsibilities.

Mark and I had many memorable experiences as youths trying to discover adulthood in Niagara Falls, Buffalo and Canada. Those times are some of the greatest memories that I have. Mark's role during that period was significant to myself and many of my closest friends.

Mark Bax was a great man. I will always remember him. It is with a heavy heart that I remain,

With deepest sympathy,

Steve Malinowski

Dear Gina, Lara, Santino and Marc.

Your husband & father was a determined brave man! He was viewed by most as a strong person but with love in his heart. They say you can see a persons success by his family...and your father was very successful!
He loved his family and protected you with all that he was...so know that this is just a new beginning and the warmth of his smile will always shine on you in the days to come!

Your friends for North Carolina!

Dear Gina;
It was of much sadness I read about the death of Mark. I am sure that all ex Moore workers here at Niagara Falls share in your sorrow. You were a hard working girl at Moore and still had the time to raise a family. We all missed you and family when you left for North Carolina. I will notify Darlene and Juanita of you loss. God will be with you in your time of great sorrow.

Dear Gina and the Bax Family,
I'm very sorry to hear of Mark's passing. Mark was a true friend, whose courage, strength and heart will never be forgotten. I will always remember Mark's intelligence, his loyalty, how he loved to laugh and how proud he was of family. I was lucky to have had him as a friend. My thoughts are with you and your family.

We have been neighbors with Mark and Gina for 8 years. They have become life long friends. Mark was such an amazing person. He was always willing to help others and loved his family dearly. He will be missed but never forgotten.

Dear Gina,
My deepest and heartfelt sympathies to you and your family. I remember Mark as a young boy, he was a friend of my son Leo and I was happy they remained friends. Leo spoke of him often and wanted to take him with him when he got this new job driving truck. I know the pain of losing a husband, my husband just passed on 5/5, the one thing I learned was God is in control and having the extra time with him only made me realize how much I loved him and happy to have been there for him. I know you can feel confidant in your devotion and love for Mark.

God be with all of you,
Marie Witkowski
