Not sure what to say?

I'm sorry to hear about Mark's passing and hope his family is healing and doing good.

I grew up living next door to Marc's house in Sheboygan and remember him well. So sad to hear that he passed.

I learned of Marc's death with shock and sadness. We graduated high school in Sheboygan the same year. I once accompanied him on the piano when he played the clarinet, and remember fondly his mother Dorothy who offered ice cream sodas at the completion of our practice. My condolences to his family for their loss.

March forth dear friend Marc. You changed everyone you touched for the better and I will miss you.

I grew up with Marc in Sheboygan, attended public schools, hebrew school, through high school. He was a groomsman in our wedding.
We lost touch over time but my feelings for him were always deep.
I just learned of his passing upon reading the Sheboygan synagogue newsletter.
Our deepest sympathy to all of his family.

With great sadness to Marc's family, he was a dear friend. I grew up with Marc in Sheboygan, we went to school together & attended the same synagogue, we both attended Hebrew school & had our Bar Mitzvah the same year. Marc was one of the nicest people I knew.

Just heard the sad news about my boyhood friend. We all grew up together in Sheboygan and have very fond memories of the Blackman family. Marc's father and my father were great friends and we all grew up within blocks of each other. My deepest condolences to the entire family.

Marc took the time to make sure all who worked for him understood how what we did contributed to the success of what he and the other attorneys were doing. He was a kind and gracious person. It was an honor to have worked with Marc at Ransom, Rogers and Blackman.

I am very sad to learn about Marc's death. He was very kind to me as a colleague and I feel fortunate to have known him. As many have said, he was a role model for others.
