Celebrate Life: Mark Furnari 04/14/2023

From Gary De Carolis:

I am the eldest son of an Italian American working class family raised in The Bronx, New York. After 12 years of parochial Catholic education, I attended the City University of New York, where I discovered the anti-war movement was more important than pre-med study and became a history major.

Discovery is my operative word: salesman, customer service, schoolteacher, window washer (40 story buildings), food cooperative manager, health care advocate/director, union organizer, electoral campaign worker/manager , city council staff, mediator, therapist, leadership development/coaching practice, entrepreneur. Throughout my life, my father, who lived to almost 100, would ask me, “what are you doing now, how do I describe your work to the family?”

The joy of three adult daughters, their families & offspring, currently 4 grandsons ages 2 months to 6 years living close by is a joy.

Five words: Curious, Lovable, Patient, Observant, Generous, Insightful
