I have just been informed of Mark's passing, and would like to express my condolences to my cousin Marie, and their children Marie and Mark, Jr.  

I always knew Mark to be a welcoming and friendly person who had a knack at making people around him feel a little bit better about anything.  It is such a wonderful gift to bring happiness to those around you, and Mark certainly had that gift in abundance.   My family and I are relatives of Marie, but Mark treated us like members of his own family.

One instance stands out........Mark and Marie attended my wedding many years ago, and my wife had a cousin with Downs Syndrome in attendance as well.  Her cousin was a shy and introverted girl who typically felt most comfortable when she was around close family.  Lo and behold, we look up and there's Mark dancing up a storm with my wife's cousin - who was also beaming an ear-to-ear grin.  Talk about having a gift at giving others joy.....

And the best part is, we have that on video!  

I am sorry to hear about Mark's passing, but I am grateful that he had a life of 80 years, and am very glad to have known him.
