                                                        Mark Proper

Mark “Prop-D-Lou” Proper passed away at the age of 64 after battling a long-term illness on Monday night July 15, 2019.  He was born to the late Howard C.  & Jean E. (Amsler) Proper in Erie, PA on December 3, 1954. He worked at Erie Insurance as a Construction Specialist for over 30 years before retiring due to illness.

Mark was an avid Raiders fan & passed the love of his team onto Brenton, his son & best friend. He enjoyed his NASCAR and listening to the Boss.  He also loved kayaking, spending time at his cottage, and sitting by the campfire with a good Gin & Tonic along with his friends and family, especially Rocco & Elaine Deller.  He was a kid at heart and enjoyed spreading his love of life and a good time to those around him.  He enjoyed working with his hands and was always involved in a new project. His greatest joy in life was having new adventures with his little “Buckaroo.”

                    Mark is survived by his wife and love of his life Linda Proper and their son Brenton; brother Terry Proper & his wife Jill; brothers-in-law Jim Kahle, Eric Kahle & his fiancé Mary Alice and Joel Kahle & his wife Michelle; nieces Rebecca Kahle, Lisa Eliason, Julie Walker and nephew Steve Proper.
