I have some more sad news for the IPL family.
Mark “The Gangsta Chef” McIntosh passed away in his sleep Saturday morning, November 30th.
Mark worked as a chef at the US Army Songnam Golf Course, and then at the Main Post Club and the Dragon Hill Lodge.
He joined the Itaewon Pool League in 2005, playing with the Seoul Pub Team. He also played out of the old King Bar, and then in 2007, he started playing out of 3 Alley as part of the original (and notorious) Wild Hogs. He was active in the league until the end of 2009, when he moved to Waekwan Base
He kept up with the goings on of the Itaewon Pool League through friends who were still active in the league. Those who knew Mark will tell you that he was a great friend and a great team mate. He will be remembered and missed.
Mark was five days shy of his 61st birthday when he passed. He is survived by his wife of two years here in Korea, and by an adult son and an adult daughter in the United States, as well as several siblings.
A wake is tentatively scheduled for three days beginning Tuesday, December 3rd in Ansan.
Rest in peace, Mark.
Mark McIntosh – December 5th, 1958 ~ November 30th, 2019
