Memories and Condolences
for Mark Nocera

Not sure what to say?





February 27, 2013

My prayers and sincere sympathy to all the Nocera family. We have happy memories of him as such a dear, sincere student at St. Helen's. His photo looks like it was just enlarged from our graduating class photos which I have saved.

Uncle mark, I know I said a few words in here before but I feel like I need to say some more. Today was my first time going to a funeral and i wish it didn't have to be yours. The pictures of your wedding were so beautiful and your son is a handsome little guy. There were so many people at the services today and Tina said the line was out the door yesterday. You were popular! I had the pleasure of meeting some people who were in your life, some told stories about partying when you were younger and a guy you used to hang out with was there too, Tina didn't even recognize him! You were an amazing person for someone to come see you a last time that you haven't seen since high school. I remember the fun times with you. You letting me drive, your swift way of talking yourself out of tickets, your hugs and the way you thought my dad how to "pace himself" while eating at your moms :P I wish we spoke more and I would have loved to come visit you in Florida. I know you weren't my "blood" uncle but I want you to know how many people love you and what a devastating loss this is for everyone. I know you're in a better place but I wish you didn't have to go so soon. I hope you have an awesome time up in paradise and please look down on all of us and smile. I know I've never said it but I love you and I will remember you every time I listen to 2 PAC and parallel park.


P.s- when I took my driving test, the instructor was impressed on how well I parallel parked. Thank you :) <3

My deepest condolences to the entire Nocera family especially to Jina and the children. Mark will always be remembered in my heart. We meet at GE when he worked for Janitronics. He always carried a smile on his face, spoke well of everyone and had the biggest heart for life, friends and his family. He always had the funnies stories about home incidents, their cat and his life growing up. I was very lucky to have been one of Mark's friends for the short time we knew each other. God bless you and your family, until we see each other again rest in peace.

Mark, I met you through State Farm, you were always a great guy to talk to. Full of energy and loved the Yankees. I miss those baseball talks and miss that big smile you used to carry with you, seemingly every second of the day. Best wishes to your family.
