He worked as a lead Machine Operator for over 40 years at Tekni-Plex. He was a very hard- working man. Mark was very family-oriented and would do anything for his family and friends. He had a sense of humor that made people gravitate towards him, he was quite the prankster.
When Mark wasn’t helping his kids with a school project or attending one of their sporting events, he was teaching them how to do donuts in the driveway. He enjoyed hunting, fishing and going boating. He loved anything with an engine, including old classic cars and HO-scale trains. Mark enjoyed a Korbel and water-light on the water, with his mom’s famous chocolate cake. He was the biggest Packers, Badger and NASCAR fan around.
