Dear Lepine Family
I am saddened to hear that Mark has passed away. I was a neighbor of Mark as a kid and I remember him as a fun loving guy. In fact, it was Mark and Johnny who taught me to swim in the old pool on Outer Drive. Great Guy, Great Family. He will be missed.

To the Lepine Family,
The Lepines were our neighbors when they lived in Plano, Texas. Mark and Carol were always so nice and kind, especially to our youngest son, Kevin. We are shocked and deeply saddened by your sudden loss. Please accept our deepest sympathy...to Katie, Kelley and Tracey and the entire Lepine Family, may God give you the strength and support you need today and in the coming weeks. May God Bless Mark.

Mark and I went to school together, from elementary right through high school. In 1965 Mark and I were co founders of our high school rock band "The Tryumfs". Mark was our lead singer/front man, and I have many great memories of performing all over town with him and the band.
Over the years, Mark and I lost touch with one another, but in 2008 at our 40th high school reunion, we got the band back together and Mark did a few numbers with us. He really enjoyed himself, and I was so glad that we were offered the opportunity to share a stage one more time.
So long buddy...

My sorrow cannot be put into words because he was the most important man in my life. He was the main male role model/father figure to me when I was growing up in Michigan and Arizona and I miss him dearly. He treated both my little sister and I like we were his children and he and Carol always included us in all of the Lepine family outings, including family vacations. My deepest sympathy to all of the relatives, family, and friends that knew and loved him.

My deepest condolences to all of the Lepine Family. I was so saddened to read this. Mark lived across the street from me in Scottsdale many years ago and he was the kindest, funniest, loving man I have had the pleasure of knowing. He was a wonderful dad and through the years I know he was a great husband and grandfather too. Mark, rest in peace until we meet again. With lots of love, Elizabeth Wheeler Gregory Burnham

Dear Barbara & Family -
Please accept my deepest sympathies for the loss of Mark. He was my "boss man" for many years at Liz and what a tremendous boss, mentor and friend! I can honestly say I've never had a time in my career where my days were filled with such laughter. Even in the tough times, he found a way to make us all smile. He will be dearly missed by so many. I hope you will find peace in your hearts in knowing how many lives he touched. You will be in my thoughts and prayers always.

Please accept my deepest condolences to you and your family. I only worked with Mark for about a year at Liz but within a month or so I realized how wonderful of a boss, man, friend, father and husband he was. He always walked around with a smile and was the best positive person around. He will greatly be missed.
