Dear friends, this is Anita Brentlinger and family sending our sincere sympathy upon losing your Mark.

I just came across a card Mark wrote so I Googled, like I often do and there was the sad notice.

Eric is still an ER doc in Portland at St. Vincent’s Hospital. We lost Peter 3 years ago.
Again, I can feel your pain. Best wishes to your family. Anita

Mark was our neighbor. A really good neighbor. We shared a lot of solid moments in our adjacent back yards over the years when he would come to shovel snow or fix something. He was always calm, engaging, interested, and very generous with his time. He always had time to chat, always kept an ear out for your needs, always wanted to share the accomplishments of his great kids, Arlo & Ada, I could tell he was very proud of them. We borrowed tools to each other. And I definitely kept some of his too long. He never once complained. I will always remember (soon after we moved in) Mark and I discussed a fence between our two yards and we both just organically arrived at the conclusion that a fence didn’t feel right. There was a common interest in keeping what little, outdoor space we had open and friendly. I loved that. The exchange made us feel welcome almost like a house warming gift. There were many of those over the years. I will not forget them. I will miss you Mark. My deepest condolences to your lovely wife Terry and family.

After More than two years I left Coldwell Banker office that I use to work with Mark I was thinking of him and sometimes I texted him to see how he is doing. The very last time which is yesterday I texted him and all of the sudden Terry texted me back with bad news. He was very unique person. He helped me and I learned a lot of real estate skill from him. Rest In Peace.

What a cool guy. And a genuine loss to the city of Chicago. I used to be Mark's neighbor in the loft building on Grand, and we struck up an acquaintanceship that lasted 15+ years, oddly re-connecting in the world of real estate. What I loved about Mark is that he did his own thing, and was able to blend the creative and practical in a way we should all strive. A memory of Mark I love is watching him schlep tools in a wagon or bike from the loft over to his 2 flat like he was a homeless guy. But he just taught himself how to fix things and realized it was cheaper than calling somebody, and his experience was one of those that led me to specialize in a career working with these multi-unit buildings in Chicago, one I often do by bicycle, sometimes looking like I'm homeless!
You'll be missed brother!

What a sweet tribute to a dear, dear guy. I’m heartbroken to learn Mark’s gone. We were in NU theatre together. “Wohlgie”. He seemed to be everyone’s beloved. Deep condolences to his family. He was a treasure.

Dear Wohlgenant family,
I have my share of regrets from years at Northwestern, but none of them include time spent with Mark. One of my very best memories is of the epic motorcycle journey--in the rain, no less--we took from Evanston to visit Tracy at Oberlin. It was always wonderful to catch up when he was back in Denver and I loved that my daughters got to know his nieces, Zoe and Clio at East. Much love to you all as you celebrate a life well lived and way too short. Warmest regards, Martha

My deepest condolences to the entire family and friends of Mark. He loved to connect people to each other always thinking of how he could help others by being the conduit of information, friendship and support. That network extends far and wide and I hope will sustain his family as they celebrate his life and mourn his passing. His love will live on.

My deep and sincere condolences. Mark was indeed one of the sweetest guys around, and a modern-day Renaissance man. He will be truly missed for the joy and light he brought with him everywhere he went, and to everyone with whom he interacted.

Terry and family,
My cousin, the words "I'm sorry" just don't seem enough. With that being said, all of you who loved Mark have my most heartfelt condolences. I will leave you with a passage from a book published in 1927 called "We Bereaved" by Helen Keller.

All my love,
Chris 💜
