He was formerly employed at the Atlantic City Rescue Mission where he enjoyed working for the Lord and where he met his wife Kelly. Mark's passion for helping others wasn't restricted within the walls of the Mission. Mark could be found giving strangers rides and literally giving the coat off his back to those he served. He also held bible studies to encourage fellow believers. Mark was a skilled carpenter with the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America. Mark was a talented musician and played guitar and sang locally. He wore many hats. He had amazing culinary skills and grew the best jersey tomatoes in his garden following in the footsteps of his grandfather, Bud. He enjoyed the outdoors. He was an avid fisherman, hunter and enjoyed countless rounds of golf with his father and Father-in-law, Frank. Mark cherished his dogs Chompy, Frankie and Buddy. Mark was also known as a practical jokester and always had the family laughing when you least expected.
