They then moved to Hollis in 2001 where they have lived since. In this home they welcomed 3 more children, and also took in some others along the way. Mark was always there to help anyone in need and because of this their home was home to anyone who needed one at the time. His larger than life Persona preceded him where ever he went. He had a rugged outer layer but the biggest heart. He struggled and battled addiction for most of his adult life which robbed him of feeling or knowing just how many people loved him and how many lives he touched and truly changed. Two years ago “Bampy" welcomed “Little Bits“ Who Filled his heart with so much joy and brought him love and comfort in his bumpy road he loved that little girl so much, she has been his favorite pass time ever since. Mark had a very close relationship with his dad they were a force to be reckoned with in any trivia challenge.
