Whitmoyer died at home on Jan. 29 of pancreatic cancer.
He was educated at Penn State University and served on the West Perry School Board, HACC board of trustees and Perry County Democratic Committee. Through his business he sold and developed solar saving solutions. He was active in the building of the pavilion stage at Little Buffalo State Park. In his younger years, he played volleyball. He enjoyed Mark captaining the pontoon boat on the Susquehanna River and Keuka Lake.
His family said, “His long struggle with pancreatic cancer did not diminish his far-reaching impact, the great ripples of his life and love throughout the community, amongst many groups, and with many people.”
