A life-long resident of Blue Point, Mark spent his summers on Fire Island and enjoyed boating on the Great South Bay. He was a graduate of Seton Hall H.S. & a proud graduate of Siena College. Mark went on to become a prominent local businessman who touched a great many people along the way.  Known as true “beer people”, Mark and his brother, Ric, had great success in continuing one of the largest privately owned companies on Long Island, supplying millions of people with their favorite beverages. Although retired as Chairman Emeritus, Mark would frequently still show up to the “shop” & walk the warehouse or offices exchanging greetings, stories & smiles with the Clare Rose Family he so dearly loved.
