Remembering Mark from one of my classes back in 1985 at UWM. He was such a good looking guy. He died way too young.
So sorry to see this sad news.

We were shocked and deeply saddened to hear about Mark's passing. We can’t even begin to imagine what your family has been going thru.

We have been keeping you in prayer. Not only for you, Margaret - but- for your children as well, the rest of the Stoiber family, for the business and employees as well. Mark was a wonderful and generous person-he was a visionary. He will be greatly missed!

My sincere condolences. I have always admired Mark and the outstanding way he kept the best interests of the patients foremost, even while we commiserated about medicare and insurance companies. Mark Pingolt,. Terry Malloy and I picqued Mark's interest in sleep when he was an EKG tech at St. Mary's. He had so many great ideas on how to help patients. My prayers go out for him and his family.

Margaret, Maddie, Sam, Kate, Pat, Kurt, Todd
(this message seemed right)
To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

When my brothers and I were growing up as kids we always looked forward to getting together with our cousins Mark, Kurt and Todd, as well as, the rest of the family. It was always a blast. I'm sorry I couldn't make it to the funeral, but my thoughts are with the family. I hit a home run at my softball game and dedicated it to Mark. In the next life Mark.

Mark's ability and gift to think outside the box is what amazed me about him. I regret not being able to golf more with him and pick his brain. He will always have a place in my heart and in my head.

I grew up with Mark and the Stoiber brothers in Muskego. Then, I was extremely fortunate to spend my college days with our tight group of friends. We have so many fond memories about living together on Cramer Street. Today, I was reminding Tom Gauthier just how fortunate we all were to live on that street together and the many moments we laughed and did such silly things together. Tom and Mark were quite the pranksters and always kept us laughing and joyful. We could always count on each other to care for each other without reservation. I have never experienced a friendship quite like this again. It was such a very important time in our lives and I feel so blessed that we had each other during these instrumental years. We all went off into the world and did fine things that we can be proud of. I attribute this to close relationships. When Mark met Margaret we knew Mark was in love for the rest of his life. Mark was a fine friend, father and man. I have always felt honored that I felt a member of the Stoiber family. Mark has lived a good life and I know so many of us feel blessed that we got to be a part of this wonderful man's life. He is a true friend.

With love,
Michelle Meronk-Hiteman

Oh Mark...what a life you have lived in your short 47 years! Your drive and passion for your work took you far and will live on. I know that you gave blood, sweat, and tears to get things to where they are now. You were able to see things outside of the box, so imaginative and creative. What a legacy you have left behind. Your love and devotion to Margaret, Maddie, Sam, and Kate was always evident. It would be impossible to know you and not know how much your family meant to you. Your marriage was envy worthy...the real deal...like a storybook love. I ALWAYS knew you had my sister's back. You and Margaret gave me hope that it is possible to "have it all." You have set the bar high, Mark, for a lot of people in a lot of ways. I will miss your sense of humor, honesty, and the encouragement to do better that I felt whenever you were around. Jake and Luke loved you, Uncle Mark... I will miss the wonderful example you were to them. You are still an inspiration to me. I will help Margaret and the kids as much as I can. Mark, I hope that you will give your family signs along the way that you are still with them. It's only been 5 days but it feels sooo much longer. We love you Mark! Tricia, Jake, and Luke Lehman
