FRANKFORT: Mark J. Aversa I, age 60, a longtime Frankfort resident, passed away unexpectedly of natural causes, on Friday morning, July 29, 2016, in the comfort and privacy of his home. Born on July 3, 1956, Mark was the son of the late Patsy and Kathleen “Kay” (Grande) Aversa. He was raised and educated in Frankfort, graduating with the Frankfort-Schuyler Class of 1974. For the last fifteen years, Mark was employed as a custodian with his alma mater, the Frankfort-Schuyler Central School District. Mark was an easy going guy who enjoyed life’s simple pleasures. His favorite pastimes included playing cards, horse racing and crossword puzzles. He was a movie enthusiast and an avid fan of James Bond. His outgoing demeanor was one of his greatest qualities, and his smile and friendly wave will be missed by those he leaves behind.

Always close to his heart was the memory of his brother, James Aversa, who passed away in 2008. Mark also leaves numerous nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
