It was a privelege to play lacrosse with Mark. He was a great midfielder and leader of the team as our Captain. A great teammate. His prowess ont he football field was demonstrated each Saturday in the fall. My deepest condences to Deborah and familty on the loss of Mark. He was a star on and off the field. HC 1972

We worked in the summer of '66 as lifeguards in Taunton at the Dever camp. He impressed me as the most dynamic, vibrant, and ambitious young person I had known. His zest for life, his energy, his humor, his encouragement and kindness- all made you feel twice as alive in his presence, inviting you to dream more so you could accomplish more. His life seems to have unfolded like so many lessons in how to improve oneself in order to help others. My condolences to the members of his family. ...

I felt so privileged to work with Mark while he was at Dorchester House. He was compassionate, authentic and dedicated to making oral health care accessible. He left a legacy of facilitating good health outcomes for all.

Prayers to the Doherty family from the Wolpin's. Rest well my friend, my mentor, my inspiration

My deepest condolences to the Doherty family in your loss. Mark Doherty was kind, a motivator at the gym and a great athlete.

Mark, thank you for the many hours of conversations, smiles, and warmth you have shown me over the years! You were truly a wonderful human! Ride easy, my friend.

Mark was an inspiration to all who cared about ensuring that everyone could access excellent oral health care. I had the pleasure of working with him for many years. It was a pleasure and an honor to know him. He was a giant in the oral health community and will be greatly missed!!

I was fortunate to have served with Mark on the MDS Board of Trustees. He was thoughtful, kind and dedicated. Mark was an exemplar of the Jesuit tradition of giving back to society. My condolences to his entire family.
