WORCESTER - Mark S. Simoneau, Sr. believed in, and loved, God the Father, Jesus Christ the Son, and the Holy Spirit. He was a humble and loving man. He helped anyone and everyone and was a dad to those without families. Our children, family and friends, lost a kind soul and giving man.

He loved being with family, fly-fishing, day trips, and eating out.
