We are so sorry to hear of Mark’s passing.
He was such a wonderful man!
Our family will never forget all that he did to support Holy Family Grammar school- especially his work of the Faith Inspired Crosses and Landscaping behind the school.
He was indeed a man of the Lord- his hands did Gods work.
May he rest in peace!

So sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. RIP Mark, a genuine gentleman, a man of faith and generosity, and a good friend indeed.
So very sorry for your loss.
On behalf of my late husband, Coach Frank Salvano, there are no words to express the gratitude for all that Mark did for the St, Joseph baseball program and Coach Salvano. Among so much Mark did for St Joe’s baseball, when that cross went up on the baseball field Frank was astonished at its beauty but more astonished at the generosity of Mark and what a wonderful, giving and humble person he was. When Mark was inducted into St Joe’s hall of fame, Frank could not wait to attend the dinner to honor a man who did so much and wanted nothing in return. The accolades Frank had for Mark are far too many to mention but Frank always called Mark “THE BEST!” Frank was forever grateful. RIP Mark.
We are so sorry to hear of Mark’s passing. Sending much love and light to Laura and the entire Plescia family. May God grant you all serenity during this tremendous loss. RIP Mark – you were truly an example of the biggest heart ever ️
Sending my deepest condolences to Mark’s family. I will truly miss him. He was a genuine guy and valued the relationship that we shared together.. Sending peace and love to the family.

It is with a heavy heart that I share the news of the passing of a man I had the privilege of knowing for over 18 years. He was a kind and generous soul, always ready to help others in their time of need. His selflessness and compassion left a lasting impact on everyone he encountered.
Though he is no longer with us, his legacy of kindness and the countless lives he touched will never be forgotten. May his soul rest in eternal peace, and may his memory continue to inspire us all to live with the same generosity and love he so effortlessly gave.
He will be deeply missed.

God’s Spirit abides in us all. God made Mark His Gardener. Every day on the roof with Mark was like being in church. Mark made us always aware of God’s presence in each other and all around us. Mark watered our Soul/Spirits in God and made us blossom in the love of Jesus. I thank god for Mark’s spirit that will continue to bless me until we meet forever in our Creator, Sustainer, Loving Parent.
Mark was a special man. I have not seen him in a while. We had great times. My sons were close with Michael and David and Ryan at that time was the water boy. I was close to Linda their Mom. Mark you did so much St Joseph. Now all the boys are law enforcement, Rob, Ramsey, Shawn State Police of NJ, and Ryan Norwood Police, BC Swat team. We have wonderful memories of Mark. May God hold you close till we all meet again. Love Donna, Rob, Shawn and Ryan✝️
My prayers are with the Plescia family
