Mark was a fabulous husband, father, grandfather, uncle and friend. He touched so many lives with his kindness, generosity and wisdom. But most of all, Mark cherished his family. His greatest joy was his love affair with Anita, which began when they met at 12 years old, married at 20, and had 65 magical years together.
