Porky Raska

He has been a friend and a good buddy for a long time. Has help me thru hard times. Love you my friend

I never knew Mark as 'Porky", only as Mark Allen! Because when we met and he was 18, he was ALWAYS pulling pranks on his mom and dad (Inez and Gene) and mom would forever yell "MARK ALLEN!" . That guy always had people in stitches and that goofy smile... After that smile came our son Donald, whom Mark promptly said he was taking out on the 'Strip' cause he was for sure gonna be the biggest 'Babe Magnet!" Always joking... but he did love cars, especially the classics and the Galaxy 500 was is original dream! We were two young kids and time drew us apart, but we always remained friends, because that is what kind of guy Mark was... Friends with everyone and had no enemies. He was profoundly protective of his family and those close to him. He was heart broken as his parents left this world, but poured more love into his children and grands. I didn't keep up with him as the years went by, only speaking occasionally, but we got to go see him and Mary in 2015 and man that guy could cook, another passion of his! He even had his own Kitchen aide mixer! I could say so much more, but just suffice to say that his bigger than life humor, love for family and friends, generous kind heart and soul, will be incredibly missed. God Bless you Mark Allen , give mom and dad a big hug and DON'T mess with the big guy, there could be consequences! ;-) <3
