With heavy hearts, we share the passing of Mark T. Kass, 62,.
What we offer here is gratitude wrapped in remembrance.
The story begins in 1952, with the arrival of a life that would be cherished by many.
Mark held deeply to the Catholic faith — and was, by all accounts, loved by those who knew him best.
A life of belief is a life of quiet conversation with something larger.
