OCAD University remembers Mark Goffin

 

Tuesday, December 9, 2014 - 5:00am

The OCAD University community is deeply saddened by the sudden passing of Copy & Print Services Manager Mark Goffin this past weekend.

Mark Goffin started working at OCAD U in October 2004 as Document and Print Services Administrator, and was promoted to Manager, Copy & Print Services in 2007. Mark was directly responsible for the success and continued improvement of OCAD U copy and print services and was, in collaboration with other IT staff and managers, just preparing the launch of a new print and copy accounting system that will provide substantial improvements in service to students and faculty. Mark was looking forward to the planned relocation of Copy & Print Services to 51 McCaul Street and was working with Facilities, Planning & Management to finalize plans for the new space.

Mark was a thoughtful colleague, with tremendous expertise on copy and print, who everyone in IT and many other departments enjoyed working with and talking to about a wide range of topics. He was a dedicated father. He will be missed.

A memorial service will be held Friday, December 19 from 2 to 4 p.m. at Turner & Porter, 4933 Dundas Street West, Etobicoke. Read Mark's obitiuary and sign an online book of condolences.
