Obituary

Our dear brother Mark and uncle (affectionately called Uncle Boe) passed away at the age of 63 on Tuesday, October 19, 2021, in Toronto, Ontario. Mark was one of seven siblings and is survived by his brothers Joseph and John (Tess), sisters Diane, Charmaine, Patricia (Joe) and Teresa (Mark). He was the loving and proud uncle of Katherine, Sarah, Krissy, Diane, Joseph, Madeline, Jasmine, Natalie, Jonah, Louise, Michael, Matthew, Christina and Patrick, and great-uncle to so many. Mark’s life was marred with many difficulties, but he never ceased to bring a smile to anyone he encountered with his kindness and witty humour. He had a kind and sensitive heart. Special thanks to John Fox who took exceptional care of Mark the last several years. We will miss you Mark/Uncle Boe as your passing has left a hole in our hearts, but we find solace knowing you are now at peace in the presence of the Lord. Rest well, you deserve it. We will never forget you. Donations in memory of Mark may be forwarded to CAMH.

Hi Andrew, This is a message from Mark's sister, Teresa. We want to thank you for your most kind words about Mark and for your prayers. It was so touching to see your message and I have passed it on to all my family. I remember Mark talking about you. Unfortunately we didn't have a list of his friends to notify but glad you were able to find out so Mark has more prayers. Take care.

I send my most sincere and heartfelt condolences to all of you on finding out about dear Mark's death today. Mark lived nearby and helped me on many occasions as I was building my new home as well as assorted small contracting jobs for family and friends in the Roncey neighbourhood. Mark was a beautiful and gentle soul whom I had the privilege if knowing for well over 15 years. My family and I will ask for God's mercy for his soul and I will be certain to say a few rosaries on his behalf. I am so saddened by this news and I will also pray for your family to not grieve his loss as I know he went through a lot in his final few years of life. May God Bless Mark and all of you. May Prepetual light shine upon him and may he rest in peace.
