My sympathies to Mark’s family. I had the privilege of working with Mark for many years (as a Siemens customer). Mark was a great guy, always friendly and super helpful! He will be missed!
He was a great guy. He will be missed so much. His YMCA family misses him so much. My heart goes out to the family. So sorry.
I am one of the luckiest guys in the world to have the privilege of saying Mark Bennett was one of my best friends. Too many great memories to fill this space from living at 1025 Queen St, our trip to Daytona Beach and our many road trips to PSU no one had more fun then we did. Rest in Peace my friend you are already greatly missed.
Our heartfelt condolences go out to the entire Bennett family. We will surely miss the presence of a truly lovable and kind person.
Mark was a wonderful colleague. I worked with him for many years and always enjoyed his humor and kindhearted demeanor. We bantered often about PSU and the Buckeyes and always congratulated each other on whose team won that year. He was a good, good man and I will miss him. My deepest condolences to his family.
Our sincere condolences to the Bennett family. I’ve known Mark since his days at PHS. I enjoyed a couple of U.S. Open Golf tournaments at Congressional with Mark and a few other friends. Truly a great guy. Again we are very sorry for your loss. We will miss him.
My sincere condolences to the Bennett family, I am glad I had the opportunity to Mark, as well as your mother and father. Some fond memories of the Washington St. days!
