Mark A. McGinnis

Mark A. McGinnis, age 65, of South Bend, passed away Saturday morning in his home.  He retired from Niles Precision as a machinist but always had a tool in his hand.

Mark was a true friend, best dad, and strong man.  He loved bowling, and spending countless hours mowing his yard.  He was a race car fan, and loved watching Notre Dame Football.  A man true to his faith. All anyone had to do was ask for his help and he would be there, sometimes even when you thought you did not need it.
