During the marriage Mark moved to Erie, PA, where he worked at Taki’s Restaurant for around twenty years as their cook, a job he dedicated himself to and loved. His Taki’s family and customers meant the world to him; if he encountered a customer, he could recall their exact order, down to how crispy they liked their bacon.

His tireless work ethic eventually caught up to him, and he was forced into early retirement due to a handicap.
