Obituary For Mark C. Lang, Sr.

Age 69, on Wednesday, December 9, 2020, of Brentwood, formerly of Dormont.

Rameas. Also survived by nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. Mark worked for Highmark for 40 years, was a WPIAL football referee for over 30 years, was an avid golfer and enjoyed tending to his yard. However, Mark was at this happiest spending time with his family, especially his seven grandchildren. Due to the current public health crisis, visitations and services will be held privately. A celebration of Mark's life will be held at a later date. Arrangements handled by the John F. Slater Funeral Home, Inc., 412-881-4100, 4201 Brownsville Road Brentwood 15227. In lieu of flowers, family suggests contributions to Disabled American Veterans through Colonel Samuel D. Foster #76, 1411 Harris Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15205.

    Joy, Mark, and David: We are at a loss of words to express our deepest sympathy for the loss of Mark. During the kids years of youth sports our families were pretty close. Many parties and good times after BAA baseball and Dukes football. Tons of laughs and the happiness teaching the boys how to win while practicing good sportsmanship. Mark will be sorely missed by all who came in contact with such a good man. Rest in peace Mark Lang. Sincerest condolences, you are in our thoughts and prayers. Jim and Jackie Madden
