Marc Farjeon

Mark Farjeon

Marc was born in New York City on May 8, 1954 and died on Wednesday, September 17, 2008.

He and his family moved to L.A. in 1959 and lived in Hollywood, Gardena, Harbor City and Lomita. Later he moved to Culver City.

As a young person his interests were electronics, taking and developing photographs, fishing and cartoons...especially Superman. In high school he became a member of the film projection crew. He seemed to be able to fix any electronic appliance around the house at a very young age. A common hang-out place through his younger years was Buff's Electronics, mostly to have lengthy conversations with the owner of the store. He graduated from Narbonne High School in Harbor City in 1972. After high school he worked at a few electronics companies and later became a computer programmer. He contracted with a subsidiary of Warner Brothers for approximately 15 years. He was a Conscientious Objector when he was called by the draft for the Vietnam War. His real passion became the peace movement, and any causes that stand for human rights. He was seen often with his camera in hand at protests against the war. His photography was also very important to him, taking numerous photos of significant and wonderful people in the L.A. area.

His father was a pianist/organist/composer who passed away on January 12, 2008 at 92 years. He is survived by his wonderfully caring mother, Trudi who lives in L.A., and a sister, Eleanor, who lives in Boulder, Colorado. His family would like to thank all of Marc's wonderful friends for their heart-felt thoughts during this difficult time.
