Judge Marks impacted many lives. I was glad to have known him professionally.
He was tough and firm but had a big heart. Many of the kids I worked with knew Judge Marks well. R.I.P. Judge Marks.

John and my husband started out in the 19th precinct. The men he started out with he never forgot. He attended their funerals and helped them when needed. He was a good and decent man. My husband served 29 years on the NYPD. Rest in peace John.

I had the pleasure of working with Judge Marks on numerous occasions when I worked in adolescent substance abuse treatment in Nassau County. Judge Marks was in drug treatment court and was a caring and firm guy. He presided over a number of cases that I was directly involved in. Judge Marks will be missed.
