It's when his voice is in your ears
So many times
Before his image appears
So many many times...
You were the epitome of grace, intellect, professionalism and kindness.
You were a terrific mentor and an inspiration for all.
I miss your friendship.
God Bless you, Steven.
Dan
Happy Birthday Steve!

The season is upon us
Holds us closer this gravid air
Once we leapt effortlessly through it
Without even the slightest care
The scent and sight of autumn leaves
Ruffled colors all about
And we line up in formation
As the plays Steve Mark barks out
The execution was near flawless
As our perfect record could attest
Still missed are Steve and others
That made 1965 our best
Made of perfect memories
The only symptom of autumns disease
The purple wave now in formation
Crowd roars still whistling through the trees
With such a refreshing breeze...
God Bless
My forever friend. Missing you is an understatement, our friendship, your guidance and even your protection from predators in the entertainment business. Your laugh, your smile, and your jokes. I miss my friend.
I love you buddy
Dan
God Bless You Steve.

Best always Steve,

These riches (memories) were to be stored and never thrown away
They were to be unwrapped and presented here today
But our children all have grown
And are out there on their own
Times remembered not ignored
Are the gifts we could afford
And never were we bored
As we played and played and played
Our time now presents
Us with such a fleeting sense
Of so many shorter days now spent...
Trying to remember......NRHS'65
G-D Bless
May God bless you.

God bless you and Judy who has always been your rock.
John
It's been two years now that you were called away to take a case in another venue. We still hold you in such reverence and awe and because in my mind it was just a little while ago, I'm holding out for the best. That's why I come, to leave the light on so that the chain of evidence, this wealth of a friendship, keeps us connected. The never in one's life, if you live long enough, eventually frays and begins to show decay opening one to a plethora of new possibilities in life. I am sure now that there is nothing after this life but more life. Until....
Funny how our conversations were like "jeopardy", I had the answers but you would always pose the right questions for them - ever the sage. Happy Birthday
My Friend
You will always be in my thoughts.
God Bless you and keep you safe.
Dan
May God bless you , Judy and the Mark family.
John Douglas
May your soul ascend higher and higher. Your friendship and wisdom, especially in these turbulent waters, is sorely missed.
With gratitude having known you.

Colgate Remembers Steve
I am the editor of the Colgate Class of 1969 notes published quarterly in the Colgate SCENE. I will be republishing info from this website to share with Steve's classmates and fellow alumni.
Steve was a heroic figure at Colgate. He came to Colgate gifted, full of promise. After the injury, it seemed he might never fulfill his potential. He did, even before he graduated. The former football star excelled in the classroom and remained fully engaged in all aspects of campus life.
I last saw him at our 40th reunion in 2009. I was proud to be paired with Steve at the start of the alumni parade up Broad St. I could not keep up with Steve in his wheelchair, and neither could the rest of us 60-somethings.
Steve, in his wheelchair, was ahead of the rest of us that day, and I think he was always like that.

I will never forget that day in 2004 when Steven Paul Mark cold-called me at my Horror Channel office on Spring Street and introduced himself offering his services pro bono to help a fledgling cable channel get launched. I thought to myself; "Is this man for real?"
And then a few hours later he appeared at my office, in his wheel chair(!) and spent a few hours discussed every topic under the sun including his pioneering accomplishments launching iconic cable TV networks. I was so thrilled that he shared my vision and was willing to bet on me.
We have remained friends ever since. And even though we did not speak for a couple of years recently. I was so happy to reconnect with Steven just a couple of months ago. His voice sounded as strong as ever and, as always, had the best advice for a friend and business associate. And his sense of humor was always there, lurking beneath the lifeline of any conversation, ready to interject.
I will always remember Gracie Mews Restaurant as our HQ for business meetings. The next time I am in New York City, I will dine there in his honor.
My memories of Steven Paul Mark will never be taken for granted. His head and his heart were, respectively, citadels of intellectual curiosity and boundless love. Despite the setbacks he endured he always persevered, soldiered on and kept an optimistic outlook.
Whenever I need inspiration or guidence, I will reflect upon his memory and his legacy of courage, wisdom and inspiration.
This man was a lion.
Not just a lion for his times.
But for all time.
God Bless you Steven Paul Mark.
You will be missed, my very dear friend.
May his memory be eternal.
