Mark A. Fodor

SAVANNAH, GEORGIA - Mark A. Fodor, aged 61, beloved son of Clara Fodor and the late Lester and beloved brother of the late Gary Fodor, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, August 8, 2012 at Buckingham South among family and friends.
Mark lived a remarkable life and made numerous friends in Savannah. He was known for his big smile and outgoing nature. He never met a stranger and considered his friends family.
Mark set many goals in life and always held great determination to meet them. On one special occasion, Mark learned enough Italian to sing his mother's favorite song, "Sorrento," to her on her birthday. On another, he worked diligently to celebrate his Bar Mitzvah, and with the help of his brother Gary and Rabbi Gordon, he made this goal a reality.
When a scholarship was established at Armstrong Atlantic State University in his late brother's name, Mark began raising funds and made regular contributions to that scholarship.
Mark was an avid reader who took the daily newspaper as well as other print publications. He kept a close pulse on the political community as well as several sports teams, among them the Georgia Bulldogs, the Atlanta Braves and wrestling.
Mark held several key volunteer positions in the Savannah community, including Public Relations Volunteer at United Way of the Coastal Empire, photography volunteer at Special Olympics, and volunteer at the Inner City Night Shelter. He worked at Mack's Five and Dime and assisted his mother Clara at Friedman's Art Store in Medical Arts.
Mark was a member of the Savannah Ambucs and bowled for over 27 years. He twice won the esteemed MVP trophy for his sportsmanship and was loved dearly by his bowling team.
The funeral service will be held at 3 o'clock Thursday afternoon, August 9, 2012, at the graveside, Bonaventure Cemetery, conducted by Rabbi Avigdor Slatus.
Memorial gifts may be made to Congregation Bnai Brith Jacob or to the Gary Fodor Scholarship Fund at Armstrong Atlantic State University.
