He was born in Jamaica, New York to the late Herman Desland Greene and the late Marion Priscilla Lundy Greene.

He was one of the top sales agents for the company and received several awards and recognition for his sales accomplishments. He retired in 2016 and traveled between Harrisburg and New York. All who knew Mark would say that he was giving, kind, fun, energetic and supportive. In his leisure, he played the guitar, liked to play cards and was very competitive. He loved to dance and loved dogs, especially Chinx. He always provided you with information on how to keep yourself healthy, whether it was talking to you, ordering you something off line, reading a book or providing you with a link for you to research yourself.
