Dr. Mark Joseph Lega

Mark Lega was a "teacher's teacher". 10 of my 11 children were lucky enough to experience one or more of his classes at Holy Cross High School. His generosity knew no bounds.

So sorry to hear of Mark's passing. He was a blessing to us at St. Martha. A wonderful teacher and friend.

Mark was just like part of our family. We will miss him so much.

Mark was a very nice man and talented educator. I worked with him using our campus technologies like Moodle. He was always so congenial. I extend my deepest sympathies to his family in this loss. I still cannot believe he is gone as I just spoke with him beginning of the fall semester.

Mark was wonderful to work with at St. Martha.

The Department of History and Political Science at Bellarmine University extends its sincere condolences to Mark’s family and friends.

He was always willing to step in and help when we had a problem finding faculty to cover our...
