Mark, although it has been 3 years since your passing you are in my prayers a lot. I pray that you have a home with Jesus and God in heaven and are comforted by them. This world is about experiences refining us to get ready for Heaven. Although you are gone you are not forgotten. I pray that your remaining family be comforted by this.

Joy, Val, Renee, and Mark and the entire Fidrych Famliy, With a very heavy heart I wish you all my condolences. Mark and I shared many special times in and out of work. Our love sports was a common bond, our trips to Fenway Park and The Greater Harford Open I will treasure forever. Mark turned me on to Frank Sinatra and Louis Jordan to name a few and I think of him always when I hear this music. He is one of my best friends and I loved being around him. At work he showed integrity and intelligence in all he did. He made work fun for me. I will always remember is infectious laugh and his commitment to family. And our favorite duet "Take me out to the Ball Park"
God Bless all

To Mark's family and friends his death is shocking news. Mark and I worked together in 1970 and 1971 as the team managers for the Stonington High School football team working under the great Coach Bob Anderson. Mark was a great guy and a very hard working individual; we spent a lot of time together. My sympathies to his family.
