I first met Mark at a Harrison football game freshman year.  He was the guy in the stands screaming decibels above the crowd.  We became good friends through high school, college and beyond.  It was an honor to have Mark as a groomsman at our wedding, and he sang beautifully in the service.
Mark was a tremendous human being and will be missed terribly.
May his memory be a blessing.

We are  so sorry for your loss

 Mark was an old  high school friend and he was a groomsman in our wedding . He had a beautiful voice and  at our wedding he sang The Wedding Song, a beautiful song about marriage and what's important. 

While he will be missed by the many who loved him,  heaven's choir  has gained a new member. 

Peace be with you

I will forever remember Mark as Professor Henry Higgins in MY FAIR LADY at Harrison HS.  Mark was a year ahead of me. I had a small part in the show , and I loved watching him and the late Louis Washington as Colonel Pickering. The two of them together were absolutely terrific. Playful; bouncing the ball of the dialogue back and forth— such a joy to watch. Mark was funny, very musical and hardworking.  Adored him. 

May he rest in peace, my heart goes out to his family.

Denise and Andrea, 
I am so sorry for your loss.  Mark had the best sense of humor! My mom (Shirley Holsinger) always said “Mark was a hard act to follow!! 
I’m so glad that I was able to come up for Cissy’s Celebration of life and spend some time with all of you. My thoughts and prayers are with you both!.

May God be with you during this difficult time and always.

We are so sorry the death of Mark.  Know that you and Andrea are in our prayers.  Love and prayers,  Ed and Nancy Kreilein

So sorry Denise!! We are all thinking of you. We are here if you need anything..

Mark’s parents and mine use to play cards(Bridge) regularly. That is how the Hirsch family memories started for me (Stumpf family)
Mark was blessed with a distinctive tenor voice. I always welcomed his ability to cantor at St. Mary’s. 
A gentle person with a heart of gold.
May Mark rest in the arms of his Savior. 
Sympathy to all the Hirsch family.

My condolences to you and your family Denise. May the lord bless you and your family!

Dear Denise and Andrea, I am so sorry for your loss.  I remember Mark's gentle spirit and delightful sense-of-humor with much fondness.  May God be with you.

Eternal rest grant unto Mark, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him May he rest in peace. Amen.

Denise,  My deepest sympathy to you and Andrea.  Mark was one of my best friends at Whirlpool.  He was very fair and always the voice of reason.  I loved his sense of humor and always had good advice.  He will be missed.

I have the distinct pleasure to teach Mark's talented daughter, Andrea. Mark would attend her many performances with a huge grin on his face. He was ridiculously proud of all that does, and who she is as a person. I loved to witness that beaming joy of Mark's. I have no doubt that Mark will eternally have a balcony seat at each an every show, concert, and recital from here on out. Prayers to Denise and Andrea.

LYF,

Denise and Family
My condolences to you on the passing of Mark.  He made my time at Whirlpool very special with his stories, work ethic and his ability to perform under pressure.  Mark was the "Mater of the War Room" and heartbeat of the third shift operations.

I can remember him telling me of all the interesting trips to ball games and visits to the East to see a special person who was a nanny.  My prayers are with you and the family members as I know, you have lost a special person.

Mark and his siblings along with myself and my siblings helped raise our parents lol we were the best of friends and so were our parents and we would either drive from Louisville to Evansville or they would drive from Evansville to Louisville and we would get to spend the whole weekend together, just playing, laughing and being friends. Those memories are embedded in my memory bank and I smile every time I think of them.  Until we meet again, my dear friend, look down on us and smile and try not to be too harsh!!!

Mark and I worked together at Whirlpool. We spent a lot of time talking about our common interests. I will always remember his sense of humor and his excitement about the birth of his daughter. I have thought of him often when something happened that I knew he would appreciate. My deepest condolences to those that cared about him. I am sure he will be missed.

Mark was my foreman at Whirlpool.
He always tried to keep a positive attitude, even when faced with trying circumstances.  He was a fair man and easy to work with.
Mark... Keep the light on.

Mark’s daughter, Andrea, is a very good and long time friend of my son. Sad to say, I never met Mark, but if his daughter is any indication then he must have been a wonderful father. She has been such a sweet and supportive friend to my son over the years, and my heart goes out to her and her mom during this difficult time.

Denise, 
So sorry to hear of Mark`s passing.  We are thinking of you and Andrea.
Steve and Marce

Matt, I am deeply sorry for your loss.  You and your family have my sympathy and prayers.
There's no denying you and Mark are brothers. The same smile, and look of mischievous nonsense. 😌

Mark was my mom’s cousin. He stopped by our house in Washington, DC after she passed and I will always remember that he went out of his way to do that. He also sent my kids some of his cool Cubs paraphernalia when he saw that we were enjoying a Cubs streak. 🙂 I really liked him. I admired his excellent grasp of what matters and what doesn’t and I thoroughly enjoyed his sense of humor.  He was a classy guy and I will miss him.
