Frederick’s Obituary Frederick J. Mark, 67, of Souderton, passed away on January 30, 2019, with his wife by his side. He was the beloved husband of Patricia (Fennessey) Mark. Born March 17, 1951, he was a son of the late Robert and Lillian (Shivietz) Mark.

Fred was a graduate of St. Joseph’s Preparatory High School, and St. Joseph’s University (THWND). He was a 30 year employee of Merck & Co., Inc., as a Statistician, from which he retired in 2005.

Fred had a curious mind and was an avid reader. His hobbies included working on his Lionel trains, planting vegetable gardens, and cheering on the Philadelphia sports teams. He enjoyed barbecuing, family picnics, and creating his own backyard olympics for his grandsons, nieces and nephews.

He is also known for his wine tasting parties and challenging his family with great trivia contests. Fred would like to be remembered as being a good golfer, but his golf partners understand the word ‘good’ is Fred’s own definition. He never gave up trying to improve his golf game.
