Mark Ritts, a remarkably gifted and accomplished individual, made his grand entrance into the world on a radiant and sunny June 16th, 1946, in the charming and picturesque town of West Chester, Pennsylvania, USA, a location that would serve as the humble beginnings of his life's journey and the catalyst for the many exciting and fulfilling endeavors that would soon unfold.
Mark Ritts was blessed to have had the privilege of being enveloped by the unwavering warmth and affection of not one, but two extraordinary women, Teresa Parente and Nina Daniel, whose presence in his life was a constant source of comfort, companionship, and joy.
Tragically, the life of this remarkable individual was brought to a premature and untimely close on December 7th, 2009, in the picturesque community of La Cañada Flintridge, California, USA, a location that would ultimately serve as the final resting place for this extraordinary and accomplished person, whose remarkable legacy would live on in the hearts and minds of those who had the privilege of knowing him.
