Lawrence L. Marks

Lawrence L. Marks 58, beloved husband of Marlane Marks, devoted son of Lawrence P. Marks and the late Tamara L. Marks, and dear brother of Margaret Scott, passed away much too soon of a recent illness. He is also survived by a nephew, niece, cousins and many friends. Larry and his wife made their home on the Peninsula, but he delighted in being a native San Franciscan, and knew the best routes around its 49 square miles. He graduated from Lowell and attended college in San Francisco completing his studies through corporate education. He had a long career in information technology, primarily as a systems programmer, but acted also as data center manager and benchmark coordinator for a large mainframe vendor. Most exciting was his stint as advisory systems engineer assigned to Taiwan. Although an all-around athlete, Larry especially loved and respected the game of golf. He had a single digit handicap and had two witnessed holes in one. He was formerly a member of the Presidio G.C., and the H.D.S.G.C., acting as its president for over six years. During their almost 35-year marriage, Larry and his wife traveled to Jamaica, St. Thomas, St. Croix, Taiwan, Hong Kong, France and many parts of the US. Larry was friendly, interested in life around him, and had a generous instinct to facilitate solutions for others. He is dearly missed. A Funeral Service will be held on Saturday, August 26 at 1:00 P.M. at the Noble Chapel of Cypress Lawn, 1370 El Camino Real, Colma. Donations in his memory may be made to the San Mateo Public Library Foundation, "In memory of Lawrence L. Marks," 55 W. Third Ave, San Mateo, CA 94402.
