Celebrate Mark A.'s life with a short message, photo or video!

During the late 1970's-80's, we were next door neighbors in Argenta, Illinois. We were both single parents doing our best to make a good life for our children. Many nights Jeneen & Jelette would stay overnight at my apartment while Mark worked nights at Firestone. He once told me about the silverware that strangely kept disappearing from the drawer. His daughters were in charge of doing the dishes, so perhaps they thought it was disposable. I suggested he check the garbage can. Mark will always be remembered as a true friend of mine.
