Obituary
A proud alumnus of Loyola University and the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Dentistry, Dr. Marks was a passionate orthodontist for over 40 years, running a successful private practice alongside his beloved Tamara.
He was also a proud U.S. Army Veteran. Outside of his professional life, Allen was an enthusiastic planner who found joy in fishing, art-especially painting and drawing-and building model ships. He was an avid admirer of World War II history, documentaries, and literature. Above all, his greatest joy and achievement in life was his beloved family-his children and grandchildren.
