Thoughts and prayers are with the family of this wonderful man. Seeing Mark come into City Hall in Lisbon was a highlight of my day. I really missed when he wasn't able to make the meetings any more as we was always a great contributor to the meetings for great ideas and solutions. On my first day of work at the City 6 years ago Mark brought me in a box of chocolates because he said starting a new job in a new city can be hard but know that there are friendly faces in the community. He will always be my favorite Lisbon resident! I will miss him very much.

Kathy, I just learned of Mark's death and deeply shaken by this news. My prayers and condolences are with you and your family. As you know, Mark and I were good friends at loras, spending many hours playing cribbage together. And every time I saw him in all the years that followed our friendship continued. The last time was at our 50th homecoming celebration where you mentioned he wasn't doing well. I'm sorry I didn't respond more personally. I know the void this leaves in me is nothing compared to the one it leaves in you. If I can do anything, please just let me know. Mike blouin

Mark was always so welcoming and glad to see me when I stayed at their home. He made me feel like I was treating them rather than their treating me with this privilege. He was so gentle, kind, thoughtful, loving and humorous. He knew the important people in my life and asked about them. He was also a deep spiritual person who came out with great wisdom. I will miss him dearly. Kathy, Tara, Mark Dean, JJ and Owen, I am so sorry for your precious loss of this loving husband, dad, and grandpa. My prayers and love are with all of you.

Mark, I am so sorry to hear about your Dad. What a wonderful role model you had in him. My thoughts are with you.

Mark was my boss for 15 years. He was the best boss I have ever had. Mark was a very kind and knowledgeable man. He was an asset to me I learned so much from him and throughout the years of my career I used the tools he taught me to be the best manager I could be. I will never forget the day he stopped in to Unity Point cafeteria. He had heard I just started working there in the Food Production. I had not seen Mark in Years. It was a delight to see him after all those years. I had a Halloween party and I invited Mark and his wonderful wife Kathy. And to my surprise they attended my party. I was so shocked. My sympathy's to all of the Broghammer family. My husband Marty Ryan rented the Broghammer farm house for years. Marty also spoke very highly of Mark. I want to tell Kathy that my heart goes out to her. He was a wonderful man. Krista Ryan

Uncle Mark was always warm and kind with a quick witted joke to put everyone at ease. I am filled with sadness as I write this and am sorry we are unable to be there with all of you to celebrate his life. Our hearts go out to you Aunt Kathy, Tara and Mark Jr. We love you and are praying for your family at this difficult time.

Mark had a wonderful sense of humor and a gentleness that was commendable. I worked at Mercy during the time he was there and we visited often. He deeply loved his family and was proud of each family member. He truly was a sweet man and will be missed by many.

Uncle Mark was always the funny one - with a joke ready to share anytime...exuding a warm heart to ensure we all always felt so welcome. His smile and hugs always greeted me on any visit. I will miss you and that good energy you shared with all of us.

Mark was a wonderful friend and great co-worker at Mercy Hospital. He always made me feel good when I was having a bad day. I will never forget hin Larry Palmer

So sorry for this loss.it was so good to see him in December.

We will miss your caring compassionate personality and quick wit. You never forgot a story with all of its infinite details. You will be missed. God bless you and your family!
