Newburgh Free Academy Memorial


Mark Secreto - Class of 1973

     Mark A. “Buzzy” Secreto a lifelong Newburgh resident, entered into rest on October 8, 2014 at St. Luke’s Hospital in Newburgh. He was 60 years old. The son of the late Louis P. and Teresa (Fabian) Secreto, Mark was born on June 17, 1954 in Newburgh, NY. He married Anne P. Hillery on May 12, 2001 in Plattekill, NY. It is with a heavy and loving heart that we announce the passing of our loving husband and father, Mark. Mark was a fun loving man who enjoyed the simple things in life: his family, his friends, a few laughs, a couple of drinks, his remote control. Most of all he enjoyed his quality time in the garage wrenching with his son Rick at his side. Mark also enjoyed spending time with his other boys: Zach, Rob, Dave, Noel and Dan. Mark gave us many great memories that will last a lifetime. So now it is time for you to party with your angels. The family would like to thank the nurses on 4N and all of the staff at St. Luke’s Hospital as well as Mark’s team of doctors. Mark is survived by his loving wife Anne of Newburgh; his loving son Richard T. Merring II of Newburgh, NY and Morgan, Frank, and Jenna Secreto all of Newburgh; his grandchildren: Tessa and Bodhi Secreto of Newburgh, NY. There will be no visitation and burial will be privately held at the convenience of the family. Memorial donations may be made in Mark’s name to the National Kidney Foundation, Finance Department, 30 East 33rd St., New York, NY 10016.
