Mark was a loving, hard-working family man who believed in the need for students to further their education or training so they could earn a family wage once leaving high school.  Mark’s wife, Frieda Christopher, and his sons, Tony (1989 graduate) and Paul (1994 graduate) decided to endow a scholarship in his memory for a student seeking a career in the automotive field.
