Mark was a devout Roman Catholic and attended St. John's Seminary for a few years. Mark loved teaching, and his sense of adventure sent him to Asia where for the past 10 years he taught in South Korea, Taiwan, and China. At the time of his passing he was teaching at Telesis Preparatory Academy in Lake Havasu City, Arizona. He enjoyed music and was a talented guitar player. He loved American history and was a Civil War buff. He followed current events, and was known to enjoy Taco Bell. Mark's quick wit put a smile on people's faces and his unbounded energy allowed him to enjoy long distance running and working out. Mark was the son of Edgar W. and Ann Marie (Scrivani) Cauffman, both deceased. He is survived by two brothers, Stephen Cauffman of New Britain, Connecticut and Christopher Cauffman and his wife Kelli, of East Hampton, Connecticut; his aunt, Francis Smith of Smithsburg, Maryland; his uncle, Joseph Scrivani of West Chesterfield, New Hampshire and his wife Lorraine Scrivani; and numerous cousins. Mark was particularly close to his cousins AnnMarie DiLuzio of Enfield, Connecticut and Maryellen DiLuzio of Easthampton, Massachusetts. The family would like to thank Dr. Robert Swords for years of care and guidance and Sandy Breece and the staff of Telesis Preparatory Academy for their assistance and kindness.
