Not sure what to say?

Too soon Mark too soon. Wonderful memories of sharing space with you at 20 Broadway. Thank you for encouraging my photographic journey. Your suggestions and support were always important to me. Your gentle spirit was always a calming influence. Look for Arbus she would enjoy seeing you again after all of these years.

Rest In Peace Mark Packo, a creative wunderkind and gentle giant. He was the Packo in Packo, Mitchell, Hanson, and Comer-my first job out of college. He was proof positive that artistic brilliance need not be arrogant or preening.
He was only 68.

My deepest condolences. I knew Mark through Virginia, and am glad they will be reunited. They were both kind, generous people.

Mark is one of the great ones. His talent groomed the Toledo Advertising and Design Market. I have always admired his creative edge and his compassion for the arts. He's left a footprint on many of us and will be missed. May we all find peace in the memories.

My deepest condolences. Mark was an amazing person and I totally appreciated his friendly, sweet disposition and his zest for his craft.

It was truly a pleasure to know you, Mark, and you will be dearly missed.

Mark was one in a million. One of the most creative, playful, artistic people I have ever known. I had the pleasure of working with him back in the early 80's. And it was through his connections that I found a job in New York City. Forever grateful for that. My condolences to his family. Good bye Mark.

Mark was an amazing and generous artist. So sorry he is gone.

You were not only the finest designer I ever worked with, you were also easily and by far the funniest, as well. I truly loved you. We had a great time together.
