I am deeply sorry for your loss. I had Mark Cromie as an English teacher several years ago, and he was one of the kindest and most generous people I have ever met. He was and continues to be a source of inspiration.

I had the good fortune to work with Mark at the Charter High School for Architecture + Design. He brought lots of fun and great sayings to the work place that we still use. Our favorite is "Have a weekend". We now say it in honor of Mark.

May God's peace be with his family now and always.

I was incredibly saddened to hear about Mark's passing. I had the pleasure of working with him during his short time at the Charter High School for Architecture + Design in Philadelphia, which also happened to be when he was initially diagnosed. He has left us with many happy memories of his time with us. He will certainly be missed. Wishing his family peace and tranquility at this difficult time.
