He was a lifelong resident of Hamden, but part of his heart was always with his extended family in Salamanca, NY. Mark enjoyed hunting, fishing, and playing the banjo. Music was one of his passions, especially country music. He was Jeopardy smart with a wicked sense of humor. He was an avid Yankees fan. Mark worked as a custodian for the Hamden Board of Education until 1989, when a brain aneurysm changed his life. He had to learn to walk again and create a new normal. He fought for every step he took, and he never complained. He loved his wife, his family, his large group of friends, and all the dogs and cats he had as companions.

Im gonna miss Uncle Mark :c
He was a great friend, husband, and person all around that will truely be missed.
Linda, I was so saddened to see this. I miss you guys all the time. Mark was always one of my biggest challenges in the gym and we had fun with our arm wrestling. But working with him always brought sunshine, a smile and a laugh. Tell Mark to look for Ginger and give her a big hug for me.
Hugs to you, my friend.
With deep sympathy for a fellow Thorpe Drive resident remembering those rides in Mark’s station wagon when we were “kids”. -Jase
