Mark Wickesberg

Mark C. Wickesberg, age 71, passed away on Sunday, January 3, 2021, with his wife Karen by his side. He was born on April 1, 1949, to the late Herbert and Hazel (Arpke) Wickesberg.
He married Karen A. Bramstedt on July 17, 1971.

Mark started his cooking career at Town & Country at the age of 16 where he was a cook, bartender, host and a very good manager, catering a lot of weddings during his time there.
