Mark E. Torinus

What a great fellow he was...I miss him and think about him often. He made the world a better place, and his leadership for improving the lives of black kids was remarkable.

Dear Maryclair,
I just this moment read of Mark's passing in the Alumni News. I am so very sorry. I remember him a bit from high school, but knew you much better. My thoughts and prayers are with you, your children and grandchildren. I pray that you find comfort in your memories and I know you will find comfort in your faith. God Bless.

Dear Maryclaire, your children, friends, et al...Mark and I met in Cub Scouts. We had a great den--Mark, John Whitney, Steve Swan, Doug Seeman and Doug Debroux.

Thanks for all the wonderful newspaper articles about Mark and your family!!! It was good to hear and to be even prouder of a fellow Class member of APHS '71. "Charge Squires onto the field...." and it was nice to hear that he did just that plus. All his gifts will be missed but always appreciated by many. My sincerest thoughts to the family in this time of transition.

TEC Midwest was honored that Mark joined our organization and he continued his giving ways with his members and our organization. TEC is better because of him and he will be missed greatly by both his fellow chairs and his devoted members.

Dear Maryclaire and family, I was so sorry to hear of Mark's passing. It was such a blessing to serve with him on the GDCF board. He was a great president for our board. This kind and good man will be greatly missed by all who knew him. With my sympathy and prayers, Lynn Schwaab
