Mark was born to Ursula Marco on October 29, 1951 in Rochester, NY and grew up on Glenwood Avenue. In his youth, Mark liked music, played guitar, and his interest in cars began. He later spent his entire work career at Favata Painting. Christmas and Thanksgiving were Mark's favorite holidays and he loved his grandson and cherished any time he could spend with him. In his spare time, Mark liked playing guitar, racing cars and working on cars, especially his favorite 1972 Chevy Nova. While as a boy he enjoyed Alfred Hitchcock, he later liked horror and science fiction movies and any movies from the 40's 50's. Mark also liked watching the Honeymooners on television. Family and friends would describe Mark as someone who was very social and helpful to others. He was able to fix most anything with his hands, was an animal lover, and liked the simple things in life. He was very dedicated to his family and will be greatly missed.
