RIP Mark Morrissey

[jaudette3]

Mark was one of good people on this planet. I was fortunate to work with him on a couple of his "000" articles which was a real pleasure. A great loss.

Mark’s service:

Visitation at the funeral home will be on Sunday Nov 19th between 2 and 5pm. The woman at the funeral home thinks the service will be at 4pm, but she is waiting to hear back from the priest.

337 Belleville Ave
Bloomfield, NJ

(973) 743-1234

According to the funeral home "We provide Live Streaming of funeral services. Reach out to us with any questions", so i called and asked.


They said that no streaming is planned as of now, unless the family decides otherwise. They confirmed what Jim said above, namely that the priest will do a little service at 4pm.

I was friends with Mark and his brother since the mid 70s We had dated the same girl and were musicians. I gave him his first drive in a 911, a 67 I bought for $500 as a basket case. We kept our friendship up all these years and this news comes hard. Mark had a contagious enthusiasm only a few possess. R.I.P.

Mark's family asked in lieu of flowers for help with expenses. John Gray, an RGruppe board member, has started a GoFundMe campaign to raise funds for the family. Please show the family how much the community loved Mark and appreciated his enthusiasm, knowledge and documentation of the early Porsche cars, MoMo wheels and all things early Porsche-related by donating to the cause.

Here's a link to the GoFundMe... https://gofund.me/211e3ed4

Great to see the strong support from the community. The GoFundMe goal is now surpassed.

A quick, and heartwarming response from the community. Hopefully the donations will continue, as the family needs all of the help possible to get through this trying time.

This is a wonderful response from the community... Still hard to get my head around it all...
