Friends,
Attached is Mark’s obituary. He asked for it to be placed on FB.

MARK AUERBACH

I’ve spent most of my professional life telling other people’s bios, so here’s my final chapter. Mark G. Auerbach died on May 2 at the age Auntie Mame Dennis might have described as “somewhere in between 40 and death”. I’ve lived with diabetes for decades, and eventually, diabetes won. On my life journey from Springfield to Longmeadow to Northfield Mount Hermon to Washington, DC to New Haven, CT , back to DC, then to Houston, back to New Haven, to New York City, Miami, and ultimately back to Springfield and Longmeadow. I had a great time working for arts organizations,
public radio, running my own company, and working as an arts reporter. There are many people I hope to see again at some point. I’ll be glad to be reunited with my parents and some close friends awaiting my arrival...Newman, Cole, Barrett, Beecher and Paquette.
At my request, no funeral services. Remember me as you mentor others. Make other people laugh. Enforce the White Shoe Season rules. I will dearly miss my close pals Patrick, Joel, Chris, Jerome, Cassie, Amy, Miho, Bob, Sarah. Peter and Lydia, and Ben.
If you want to memorialize me with a contribution, please make a gift to either
