A Memorial Bench for Mark Ollari

My name is Angela Rinaldi, about a week ago my dear friend Mark Robert Ollari, 59, passed away on July 24, 2021.

The passing of Mark has affected so many people especially his dear family. As long as I have known Mark and his family, they were always a bright spot in our day. Mark was always smiling and made us laugh even with one quick line.

This family has touched so many and through it all have always stayed solid. He was one of the best dads I have ever met. He was up at the crack of dawn at the baseball field ready to give the kids, especially his son Robby everything he had.

Mark was extremely proud to be his son’s baseball coach and his daughter’s singing partner on numerous hits. With his loving wife Donna, he was able to provide years of joy for his family at their beach home in Charlestown, RI, which he truly loved. Nothing was better for Mark than watching the Red Sox, Bruins or Patriots and playing a round of golf. Mark will be greatly missed at all holidays, especially Christmas Eve.

Mark was always happy at that baseball field.... I know this because I was there to witness it. I spoke to the family and we came up with an awesome idea to have a bench dedicated to him, placed at the field. Mark would then always be at a place that made him happy. The family lives right down the street and will be able to visit the bench often and maybe even watch a game.

Please help me in making this idea come to life, as this will be an everlasting way for all of us to dedicate a very special gift to Mark and his family.
