Born in Paterson New Jersey, Mark graduated from Willingbor­o High School Class of 1989, where he lettered in Soccer and Football, and was named 1989 Willingbor­o Scholar Athlete of the Year. As an adult Mark enjoyed many weekends playing golf. He attended Drexel University and studied Computer Science. Mark has worked in Informatio­n Technology at Conifer Securities for the past 15 years where he has many friends and colleagues.

Mark will be remembered for his gentle and calm demeanor and spirit, his ability to teach the most complex things in simple ways, and the love for his family and friends. His two daughters are the light and joy of his life. He is a great man and we are humbled to have walked this earth by his side. He is loved more than words can express and will be missed beyond measure.
