Shocked and deeply saddened to learn about Mark’s passing away. My condolences to Sherry and Mark’s parents and family.
Mark was both a stepbrother to me, but more a “cousin” to me in my younger years. His mother, Valentina, was my godmother. So I have known this family a long time. Mark’s father, Gene, stood in for my godfather, Ihor (now 90, who I am very close to). I remember skating with him and his brother in NY
Mark was my stepbrother.
