In 2000, he returned to Kenosha, Wisconsin. Mark loved to fish Lake Michigan with his nephews and his brothers, and was a devoted member of No
Veteran Dies Alone. Most recently, he created Lower East Side Media on Youtube with over 1,000 subscribers who tuned in regularly to watch his expertly crafted and beautifully edited rock and roll videos of his favorite band, The Rolling Stones, and where he also promoted up and coming artists.
