Mark was born and raised in Chicago and came to Key West some two decades ago. He was a popular hairdresser, artist and comedian. He will be best remembered for working at the Anchors Aweigh Club house as an assistant to the manager where he served hot coffee, meals and literature to those seeking a new way of life. When you got a cup of coffee from Mark, it always came with a smile and a corny joke. Mark’s dream was to open a hair cutting school. His friends hope that in his new life, his dream has come true.
