Sad News

Very sad news indeed. I have interacted many times over the years with Mark, and he was a true gentleman. I know he was so proud to see his son back pitching again after TJ surgery.

I wish to pass on my condolences and prayers to his children, family, and friends.

Very sad news. I knew Mike from the forum as well as meeting him and his son at Extra Innings in Nashua several times. Prayers to his family and friends.

Condolences to the family - to the HS Web family as well. When we lose anyone it is a tragedy - when we lose a baseball friend it is a "error by omission" and can't be explained in the box score of life.

Breaks my heart to hear this news today. Mark and I never met, but through this forum, we exchanged dozens of emails. He knew my son played for Northeast baseball and had received a D1 scholarship. He aspired for his son Mike to do the same. I urged him to follow the same path and he was thrilled when Mike made the U17 roster. He wanted nothing more than to see his son recover from Tommy John fully and play college ball at a high level. His love for baseball and his son was evident in every message we shared.

My thoughts go out to his family and I hope his son fulfills Mark's dream.

I am so terribly sorry to hear this. I did not know Mark, but he was indeed a member of the HSBaseballWeb family. My sincere condolences to his family.

So very sad and seemingly so very sudden. I knew Mark from back when we worked together at a local grocery store and we had the same circle of friends. We kept in touch a few times once our boys were playing HS ball... him always trying to get the inside scoop on the "affairs" at BG when Detering was there... Like others my thoughts/prayers go out to the family.

This is awful news. I never met Mark but I feel like I know him from the message board, emails, and more.

My condolences and prayers to his family and friends.

very sad indeed. my thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

Very sad news. I met Mark when our sons were at Cooperstown Dreams Park at 11 and 12 years old. And we've PM'ed a bit here too.

Deepest condolences to his son and the rest of his family.
