Born in Waseca on September 18, 1949, Mark was the son of Leon and Loretta (Cole) Tobin. Mark’s father died when he was very young and his mother later married Oscar Storlie, Jr. Mark grew up in Waseca and attended Sacred Heart Catholic School and Waseca Central. On February 23, 1973 Mark married Bev Walker in Brookings, SD. Mark worked at Brown Printing in Waseca for 26 years and then continued his career in the printing industry until his retirement in 2013. He was a very giving person who loved his children and grandchildren very much, and he was always incredibly proud of their accomplishments. He enjoyed hunting, classic cars, furniture restoration, collecting antiques, watching Gunsmoke and Bonanza, and the occasional burnout in one of his many cars. He was a member of Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Waseca and was a former Boy Scout leader. He also belonged to the Southern Minnesota Auto Restorers and the Hiawatha Corvette Club.
