Marcos was typically humorous and passionate about making others laugh, often indulging in comedy of some sort. His personality was infectious, drawing hundreds of friends and co-workers throughout his life. He was an individual who easily connected with pets. He had a favorite dog, Mia, who he fondly missed.
