Mark served his country in the army in Texas and Korea. He attended UWSheboygan. He owned and operated Great Lakes Bindery – sales and service of printing press folding machines.

He enjoyed crossword puzzles and brainteasers and would never miss the 6:00 p.m. “Jeopardy” on TV. He was an avid re-cycler, composter and caretaker of the environment. He loved to joke and brought levity to all those around him. His interest in challenging puzzles and his skill and background in mechanics led to him tinkering in the garage, fixing and deconstructing various machines and recycling the parts while listening to public programming. Most of all he loved to be with his family and friends.

A funeral service for Mark will be held on Friday, February 9, at St Paul’s UCC, Sheboygan at 2114 Wedemeyer St. with Rev. Jeremy Hylen officiating. Family and friends may gather at the church Friday afternoon 3:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. followed by a memorial service at 4:30 p.m.
