Marc was a person dedicated to the truths of life. He had a level of integrity and honesty that was not corrupted by a need for material goods. In the world of insurance Marc always did what was in the best interest of his clients. Marc will truly be missed by those of us who shared the vast majority of his career with him.

We shared many good times and have many memories of Marc which we will hold dear in our hearts. With Marc and Alice, we consumed countless chocolate babkas from Evelyn's bakery in Queens - always cutting the babka into four quarters - we took it for granted that there would never be one crumb left!
Marc will be missed very much. Alice - we are so glad we were able to have dinner with you this week,
Much love, Marcia Egger & James Langford
