Jayne, Sam, and Ben...
I was very disheartened to recently hear of Mark's passing. I shared a lot of laughs with Mark at Wintersport during my coaching years and always looked forward to the support and big welcoming smile he always gave me and my wife every time I saw him. My condolences and prayers to you and your family.

Dear Jayne and Family-

I want to offer my condolences and say how much I will miss Mark. Over the course of the years we knew each other the relationship we developed was a cherished one. Every conversation we had ran the gamut, from families to sports to music to business to summer camp. These memories will never be forgotten. My thoughts are with you.

Jayne & Family,
I want to offer my deepest condolences. Mark was truly a special, kind & caring person that I have had the privilege of knowing for more than 20 years through business.
He found great joy in sharing stories about his family, which brought him such pride and happiness. He also genuinely cared for others, always asking me in detail about my family whenever we spoke.
He will be sorely missed but always remembered with fondness. May his memory be for a blessing.

Dear Etskovitz Family..
I am so sorry about the news I just heard about Mark. I write this with a very heavy heart. He was my Bloch rep and I always looked forward to see him to hear about his family. He loved you all so very much. The smile on his face when he talked about the 3 of you just warmed my heart. He was so very proud of his sons. I know God welcomed him with open arms and he is in a better place now with no pain and in peace. We will miss him very much and no one will every to be able to sell dance wear like Mark. I am sure the dancing Angels will have the best leotards. Please except our deepest sympathies and know that Mark is in the arms of God.

Jayne, Sam and Ben. It is with great sorry the hear about Mark. Ellen, Justin and I are at a loss for words to express how we feel for your loss. Mark was such a great person from the first day we met your family. You and Mark opened your hearts as if we new all of you all our lives. I always looked for Mark on visiting day at Green Lane, we would stop and he would stick his head in the car, smooze and give us a big hug and direct us to special parking. It was never a big deal to out of his his way to bring stuff(munchies) up to Justin at camp when he would com up on weekends. Mark and I had some great conversations and sharing of life stories and the greatest concerts we ever saw, and which one was the best. He will be missed but will always be remembered for eternity. The Kodroff's, Robert Ellen and Justin. May G_d Bless you and watch over you.

To: Mr. and Mrs. Etskovitz, Ron, Amy, Mark's wife and sons,
My name is Mark Kratzer and I was a friend of Mark's, mostly when he was younger before our family moved to New Jersey. I just heard about Mark's passing from my brother. I am heartbroken to hear of it. Mark was always such an incredible friend, full of laughter and perpetually smiling. He was intelligent, kind and an excellent athlete. One of, if not the worst thing about moving away was losing his friendship. But true to form, Mark managed to track me down when I was in college and we got together, because he made it happen. That was the kind of guy he was, truly more interested in you than he was himself and that's why he was so loved. I never knew anyone who didn't like him. I loved him from the moment I met him at age 11 and continue to this very day. But have no worries - because I know, for sure, we will see him again... in Heaven. He'll be the guy on the puffy white cloud with a smile on his face and his arms out-stretched welcoming us all home. My sincerest condolences.

To the Eskovitz family,
My prayers and those of the many members of THE TRAVLERS SHOW , that were fortunate to get to know Mark go out to his family. We are truly saddened to hear of his passing. We, in the garment industry were able to know him as a respected gentleman in a very personal way as we shared a common aoccupation. Through all of the years we were priviledged to know him, we all came away with the joy and honor of knowing a true professional. We will miss him as a breed of man one seldom sees. Our clothing show was so grateful for such a lovely person to be a member. God speed Mark, may you continue to sell to the angels.

Janyne:
I had plenty of fond memories of Mark and your entire family at Camp Green Lane. When ever Mark walked into a room, or on the basket court his smile was priceless. His love and care for you and his boys were beyond words could describe. Mark was always so full of life and kindness. He will be missed !

Dear Aunt Nickie and Uncle Len, I am so deeply sorry for your loss. I wish I could be there with you today, but my thoughts and prayers most certainly are. The times that I spent with Mark as we grew up were so special. Our family softball games at the house, so many memories of Camp Akiba playing ball and just have fun together. Mark was so special, and I will always hold his memory in my heart and in my thoughts. Love, Steven Bleznak

Mark was one of the Greats. A true friend with a wonder for life. His smile and personality will be remembered for a long time to come. God bless his family.

Jayne and Family,
We are so sorry for your loss. Mark truly was a special man. I will treasure all the chats we shared before he would show the line. Catching up on family events, hiking plans and life in general were always a highlight of any conversation and after 20 years of chats...I truly considered him a friend and not a sales person. His laughter and light will be missed by many and your family will be in our thoughts and prayers for years to come.
