MARK JOSEPH Obituary

JOSEPH--Mark Richard. Mark Richard Joseph of New York City and Sag Harbor, New York passed away Sunday, December 26, 2021. Mark was born November 8, 1932 to Hyman Jerome and Marian Perlstein Joseph in Bayside, New York. Mark attended Bayside High School and then Princeton University, graduating in 1954 from the Woodrow Wilson School with a degree in Middle Eastern Studies. After graduation, Mark enlisted in the Navy where he was active for six years primarily aboard ship as Purser and continuing in the Reserves for an additional 22 years from which he retired as Captain. Mark founded Maran Coal, an international energy company, conducting business around the world until his retirement in 2012. A member of The Friars Club, Mark also served as Vice President of Rodeph Sholom and as Trustee on the Temple's Board of Directors for many years. Mark's family meant more to him than anything in the world, but he also deeply loved his Mets, a long and winding joke, and a good cigar. Mark is survived by his wife, Angela Joseph; his six children, Rebecca Joseph, Jennifer Joseph (Jon Longhi), Margaret Joseph (Daniel Siegel), Sasha Joseph (David Blumsack), Max Joseph (Tracy Sweetbaum Joseph), Sophie Joseph; and his five grandchildren, Katy, Phoebe, Jacob, Cora and Avra. Due to current COVID concerns, there will not be Shiva or a service at this time.

Angel - I'm hoping you can get my email from this page. Please contact me! I just happened to be telling your love story to a friend of mine and decided to see where you all were and found this. Hugs, Jill

RIP Mark. I first got to know Mark around 1985. Not only was Mark a fine mentor but was also a great story teller who could capture an audience in short order with wonderful anecdotes and playful dead pan humour. He traded seriously but also viewed it as an art. In my early career he helped and taught me how to "manage" a trade, creating value whether it be from a value-in-use quality perspective or from a freight and logistics angle. Dinner with Mark, be it in London, NYC, or elsewhere, was always a wonderful learning experience, he knew his way around many a fine menu and would willingly impart both his culinary and trading knowledge to his guests (and pupils) at the same time finishing the evening with his customary cigar! Thank you Mark Condolences to Angel and family.

The passing of a beloved icon in the coal industry only reached me today (Jan 26). As a member of the New York Coal Trade Association, Mark was somebody with a wealth of trading experience and generous enough to share it with people like me, who were only starting our new careers. He loved his cigars. He talked often of his family. He was quick with a smile and had eyes that showed glimpses of his brilliant trading mind. Rest in peace, my friend and thanks for the fond memories!
