Mark L. Knapp, 43, a brilliant, loving and adored, husband, son, brother, uncle, great-uncle, cousin, and friend, died Thursday, June 1, 2023 at his family’s home in Conesus, NY after a hard-fought battle with cancer.

Mark was born in Osaka, Japan to Megumi (Nakajima) and Lee Knapp. At age three, the Knapp family relocated to Rutherford, NJ, where Mark attended preschool. After the addition of Mark’s sister Melodee, the family settled in Wayland, NY. Here, the family became dedicated members of the Springwater Church of the Nazarene. New York is where the Knapp’s put down roots, where Mark started kindergarten, learned piano from his mom, landed a choice paper route and made the first of many, life-long friends.

In school, Mark was a New York State Scholar-Athlete, playing varsity tennis for Wayland Cohocton Central and finishing second in the Livingston County Class 13 Doubles Tournament. Mark excelled in academics, participating in National Honor Society, high school Brain Stormers and was voted Most Studious by the graduating class of 1998. Mark had an appreciation for classical music, starting with piano in childhood and progressing to flute in high school. He loved instrumental music, especially Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata and the works of Vivaldi.

Mark attended college at the Rochester Institute of Technology and was an active member of the Sigma Pi fraternity. He graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering Technology from the College of Applied Science and Technology. Greek life brought Mark countless experiences, friendships and professional relationships. One night, at a birthday party for one of these friends, Mark met the great love of his life, Jeanine.

With their marriage came deep love, travel and adventure. Professional opportunities through Mark’s employer, RoviSys Building Technologies, brought various moves across the US. The couple settled in Cary, NC, before a work assignment sent them to the Netherlands, kicking off a period of exploration across Europe. Together, Mark and Jeanine traveled to more than 20 countries. They zip lined through the jungles of Costa Rica, perfected rich bolognese in Italy, explored ancient ruins and shimmering Mediterranean beaches in Greece, cracked into black-shelled eggs simmered in Japanese hot springs and basked in the bright white silence at the peak of the Austrian Alps.

Mark lived his life with gusto. He embraced the people and experiences in his life path. For him, food was an adventure. Mark was never one to turn down the offer of a free hot dog, turkey leg, or perhaps other – questionable – mystery street fare. He relished long meals with family and friends. Mark’s Japanese heritage instilled a deep love of Asian cuisine and culture. This hunger for life meshed perfectly with Jeanine and the rest of the Cisco family. Together, they became “boat level” sushi enthusiasts, with Mark guiding the way through every succulent hunk of sashimi.

Mark was fluent in Japanese and returned to Japan many times to visit family and immerse himself in the beauty and thoughtfulness of Japanese culture. This influence was in his very essence and character.

Mark was the epitome of joy, laughter and love. He was devoted to Jeanine, their families and friends. He was beloved by those who knew him and an example to all of a life well-lived.

Mark is survived by his beloved wife of 14 years, Jeanine (Cisco) Knapp, parents Lee and Megumi (Nakajima) Knapp of Crossville, TN; sister Melodee Knapp of Chicago, IL; father and mother-in-law Butch and Katherine Cisco of Conesus, NY; brother-in-law James (Durinda) Cisco; and sister-in-law Karalee (Dave) Kircher. In addition, Mark is survived by nieces, nephews, cousins and many friends.

Naples: Sandy passed away on May 13, 2023 at age 79, at home with her family by her side. Born on July 19, 1943 in Watertown, NY to Rev. Willard and Esther Barber, Sandy was predeceased by her grandchild Grant Stone. She is survived by her loving husband of 59 years, Alan Stone; daughter Teri (Gary) Gedart; sons Timothy Stone and Michael (Alana Fuierer) Stone; grandchildren Anne Marie and Kalley Wilkie, Emily Davies, and Henry, William, Owen, Hope, Ethann and Adelynn Stone; great-grandchildren Harlow Belille and Evren Davies; brother David Barber; several nieces and nephews; and many dear friends.

Sandy had a very eventful life, but was challenged early at age seven with polio. She decided then to become a nurse and follow in the footsteps of the hospital staff who had cared for her. After graduating from Ogdensburg High School, she joined the nursing program at Highland Hospital and earned a certificate as a Registered Professional Nurse. In 1964, after marrying Alan, she was employed full time at Thompson Hospital in Canandaigua. As responsibilities for Teri, Tim and Mike increased, her career commitment evolved to part-time. Then as she scaled back her nursing duties while raising her children, she remained a “lifetime nurse” who was always on call for friends, family and humanity. Once, she was recognized by Delta Airlines for taking quick action to save an unresponsive infant on her flight.

A consummate outdoor enthusiast, Sandy traveled the world with Alan to hunt, fish, camp and explore nature with indigenous people. No matter the journey, people were quick to recognize and appreciate her energy, kindness and ability to work side by side with different cultures.

Sandy took pleasure in decorating her home and bringing her surroundings to life with flowers and landscaping, as well as sharing her talents for cooking, knitting and sewing with others. In the early days of the pandemic when masks were scarce, she produced many handmade masks for friends and the local doctor’s office. She also donated numerous knitted hats to local children in need.

Sandy was also active in team sports throughout most of her life, playing for many years with the Honeoye women’s softball league and enjoying volleyball, bowling, and doubles tennis. She also loved attending plays, especially when grandchildren were performing; and always took delight in watching her children and grandchildren participate in sports like basketball, soccer, lacrosse, football, volleyball and tennis.

In recent years, she served as a volunteer on the Advisory Board of the Finger Lakes Area Community Endowment at Canandaigua National Bank, helping to facilitate charitable giving in the region. Her commitment to looking out for others built a strong foundation for teamwork in her family’s numerous business and philanthropic endeavors.

Sandy will always be remembered for her zest for life, skillful pursuit of the many passions that brought her joy, and deep caring for all those around her – family, friends and community.

A private family service will be held at Lakeview Cemetery in Honeoye, NY.  In lieu of flowers, donations in Sandy’s memory may be made to: Hospeace House, P.O. Box 343, Naples NY, 14512.
