Not sure what to say?

Bonshak family, we recently learned of Mark's passing so please accept our late condolences on the loss of your beloved "Bommer"! We are so very sorry!

While I haven't seen "Bommer" in 32 years, my memories of him are forever ingrained in me. As a freshman catcher for the Bloomsburg Huskies in the fall of '83, Bommer took me under his wings and showed me the Husky way. When I decided not to return to the team after the '85 season, Bommer continued to treat me as one of his teammates...

My name is Art Murnane and I started at FedEx with Mark. He would always kid me from being from New York. We had a great group of guys and gals that started with FedEx in Memphis back in '2000. Mark had a very dry sense of humor and made most people laugh at their expense. He was a big Irish football fan so we bonded very quickly.

His family came out in many conversations and you could tell it was very important to him. I will miss him and think of him...

Dear Bonshak Family:
I do not know Mark's family personally, but I am an alumna of Whitehall High School, class of 1986. Mark was older, but EVERYONE knew who he was! Mark grew up a few blocks from my family, and it would be an exciting occasion when me and my friends would see him in his yard, or at Jefferson park. He was a celebrity at Whitehall, and rightly so. He was a phenomenal athlete and I do believe he changed sports forever at Whitehall. While I was not in Mark's circle of...

I got to know Mark through St Luke's and we immediately became buddies. I am so sorry for your loss. He was a great guy and I will miss him but am glad to have known him. May he rest in peace.

Dear Bonshak family, I'm sending my sincerest sympathy to you at this most heartbreaking time in the loss of your husband, father, son, brother. In all of life's ups and downs this has got to be the worst a family is forced to deal with, the loss of such a vital member at so young an age. May you cling to one another in love and support and may God bless.

To the Bonshak family, I'm so sad to hear of Marks passing. My prayers are with you all. Mark was an exceptional person and I'm proud to have known him.

Dear Bonshak family,
It breaks my heart to see you go through the loss of your dear father so early in his life and in yours. I only met him once or twice, but I always knew both of your parents were amazing because you guys are all such wonderful people. Hold onto each other, as your father so well prepared you to do. Lean on your God - through Him all things are possible. Love you guys. I share your sadness and feelings of great loss, and have infinite faith in your strength and...

Bonshak Family,

My deepest condolences for your loss. Its been a long time since I've seen Mark but I will never forget his kindness and great spirit. God Bless all of you, prayers to your family. I was truly taken aback when I heard of his passing.
