How lucky and blessed you were to have Mark for all these years. And how lucky and blessed I was to have spent a little bit of time with Mark at Christ The King and at Ursuline Dad's Club. It was just nice being in Mark's company and joke about anything! Such an awesome guy. So glad he was at Katherine's Graduation. Truly a highlight of that special day! Mark really touched my soul.

Sending deepest condolences to the entire McKenna family. Mark was my boyfriend in the summer of 1968 through the following school year. I was at Elmira College while he attended BC. He was such a kind and fun person - a perfect gentleman. Though we lost contact many years ago I often thought of him with great fondness and still have photos and letters from those days that I would gladly share with family if there were interest....

Mark was my closest friend for our first 25 years. Together most every day from nursery school thru college and even grad school. I spent more time with Mark than I did with my own family. I loved our time together in little league, playing hockey at Xavier and traveling to and from BC.
Watch over your beloved daughter and wife and say Hi to my sister Terry.

I had the pleasure of interfacing with Mark through VHA. He was a true gentleman and (I) should have known he was a "man for others"... May he rest in peace.

It was an honor and a privilege to serve with Mark on the Med Board and work with him on the EAB at Beecken Petty. He was a generous, caring and kind person. I greatly admired his skills as an executive and feel blessed that I was able to get to know Mark. Eileen and I send our thoughts and prayers to Mary Sue and his entire family.
