Mark was employed for 25 years as a funeral director and part owner of Laemmrich Funeral Home. He was very proud of his heritage and being the 5th generation of the Laemmrich Funeral Home. Later he was employed at IPA for 12 years in sales.

He coached basketball at St. Mary’s grade school, high school, and Assistant Coach at St. Norbert’s College, and Marian University. He loved to golf, follow and cheer on the Green Bay Packers, Brewers, and Bucks. He even had the opportunity of attending the Ice Bowl.
