Mark was a salesman for Arlinghaus Builders for over 30 years.

His sense of humor was one of his defining traits, always ready with a witty remark or joke to bring a smile to those around him. The Christmas Eve parties that he hosted were the highlight of his year and found him playing drums and putting everyone in the holiday spirit !

Mark enjoyed sports, playing baseball and basketball growing up. He loved attending the Newport Italianfest with family, which reflected his strong connection to his Italian heritage.

His favorite past-time was spent with his 4 grandsons who affectionately called him ” Pop O”.
