Determined and inspired to follow family traditions, Mark founded a number of successful establishments. As many would agree, there is not enough time, tissues, or space here to describe the profound impact he has extended as a: man, brother, husband, father, grandfather, friend, and boss. A stand-up guy with a big heart; always had time to say hello, lend a smile and a helping hand. Even through a life of trials and tribulations, Mark remained tough as nails and true to his family and business values.

As Mr. Jug would say, “Hey, if I were any better, I’d be you” and “Laku Noć”
