MARK PHILIP HARTY

Sally, Liam, Brendan and family, I learned of Mark's death only a few days ago, when the May/June 2017 edition of the Dartmouth Alumni Magazine. The news of his tragic and untimely passing shook me to the core. I first befriended Mark at Aquinas House. In addition, Mark was the President of the Dartmouth Alumni Council (1986-87), during the final year of my term (1984-87) as an Alumni Councilor. I could wax eloquent about Mark all day and even that would not be enough. He was the...

What a great man. Last physically saw Mark was when he was playing tennis for Dartmouth and competed against Army at West Point. Got a chance to visit for a few minutes. My Dad a vice principal at Amherst also thought the best of Mark. Praying for the family.

Mark's path crossed mine in 8th and 9th grade. I was a year behind him but his strong character and authentic nature was a beacon even then. I have reflected on that impression in the decades since. I leave my feelings to a timeless NewEngland poet to best frame an expression in words..

The sun set but set not his hope:
Stars rose; his faith was earlier up:
fixed on the enormous galaxy,
Deeper and older seemed his eye;
And matched his sufferance sublime
The taciturnity...

To the Harty family, I was fortunate enough to have a long professional relationship with Mark. He was an individual of the highest quality who carried himself with polish and grace. He will be missed by all that knew him. My deepest condolences.

Sally,

Ann and I are praying for you, Brendan and Liam that your family, which was presided over by a true gentleman and one of the best of our generation, will, as time goes by, be mightily blessed in your memories.

Mark brought so much to all of us privileged to enter in to the giant orbit of love, laughter and wisdom that surrounded him.
I'm sure the Eleysian fields are now being blessed by his presence - not to mention his athletic prowess - as well.

Left too soon...

Mark had great character, compassion and talent.All of us are better for his time on earth. I will miss a good friend. My condolences to his family and friends.

All members of the Reny Family send their deepest condolences and heartfelt sympathy on Mark's premature passing from this life to the next. It is such a loss and we are very saddened by this unexpected news. May fond memories of his warmth, caring, compassion and deep love of family and friends comfort the many who will miss his smile, grace and class. Mark's life was a blessing to all who knew him.
