I'll always remember Mark as kind, friendly, and so much fun to be around. I'm so glad I got to meet him through Peter, and I always appreciated his willingness to jump in on "My Way" even if none of us knew the lyrics and we were horribly off key. You will be greatly missed, sir...much more than words can express.

Mark did legal work for me for over 20 years. He was more than an attorney as he became a friend. I will miss his quit witted sarcasm - rest in peace Mark, you deserve it!

Words cannot express how sorry I am for your loss. Mark was a great man, always remarkably humorous, candidly to the point, accompanied with a genuine smile. The love & pride he shared for his family was honorable & priceless. Thank you Mark Pena for always being kind to me & leaving a great life signature of knowing you during this journey. Also for being a friend, brother & confidant to my Son. You did very well! Rest well & I pray you joined your Mother with that beautiful smile.
