Mark may have sat next to me often alphabetically during many a school year, but he was light years ahead of me academically!
Mark was one a great select neighborhood troop that played brutal football in street football games, where hitting and knocked in to a snow bank you were considered lucky. Odd memory but there was a tussle once when I think I found a long branch that looked like a musket rifle and both Craig and I claimed it. Mark turned in to a pit bull defending his younger brother!
The DeVarney's, The Campitelli's and Tim and Jim Riley, all the best in bumps and bruises during those formative years. If there will be a Hall of Fame on Brierwood Lane, Mark would be the first nominee to combine athletic ability and academic excellence! Bowling? You were watching a Pro!? (well, sometimes!)
I had only seen Mark once in the last few decades but he reminds an important part of those younger years.
My deepest sympathy.
May God be with you Mark.
