Mark William Polsky, 89, of Boca Raton, passed away peacefully on September 23, 2025.

Mark was born on June 3, 1936, in Brooklyn, New York, to Samuel Polsky and Anna Elkitz. He proudly served in the US Navy, and earned a degree from the Fashion Institute of Technology. He then built a successful career in the paper and promotional materials business, where he was well respected for his dedication and work ethic.

He was deeply devoted to his family, including his late wife, Leslie Piken Polsky, who passed in 2008. Together, they raised two children, Beth (43) and Eric (46). Eric and his wife Rebecca are the parents of Mark's first grandson, Austin (8). Mark is also survived by his son Andrew (57), from his first marriage, and Andrew's wife Leslie, who are the parents of Mark's second grandson, Ryan (6). Mark is also survived by his brother, Larry Polsky (84).

Mark had a lifelong passion for sports and music. A true Dodgers fan from their Brooklyn days through their move to Los Angeles, he also cheered on his local teams with enthusiasm. He loved the magic of classic movies and had a special place in his heart for the timeless voice of Frank Sinatra.

Mark will be remembered for his warmth, humor, and kind-heartedness. He touched the lives of his family and friends deeply, and his memory will be a blessing.
