Mark was a mentor, friend and colleague. Mark was so full of enthusiasm and absolutely wonderful to his patients..... A true advocate!! The world is by far a better place because of Mark Rowinski.... Rest in peace Dr Rowinski.

I've only known Mark a short time but instantly I considered him a friend. Very kind and considerate and made me feel at home when I went to a cookout at Kathy's home and first met Mark. I'm so sorry Kath. He will be missed. Be patient, time heals all wounds.

I was not fortunate enough to ever have known Mark personally but I did come to know him through his sister Linda who so loved, admired and adored her forever older brother. If the indelible mark Mark made on Linda is any indication then i know he did the same for many including family, friends, students', patients and colleagues and all are better for this. Done too soon. My thoughts and prayers are with Mark's family..

Although I did not know Dr. Rowinski, I have heard his name for many years from both of my sisters, Julie and Dianne Polseno. He was so highly respected in the field, and not only was he their mentor, but also their friend. My deepest condolences to the family. May you Rest in Peace Doctor Rowinski. I hope you and my sister Dianne reunite in Heaven.

Dr R, You will be sorely missed. You were a great friend and an inspiration to all those that had the pleasure of interacting with you. You are a shinning star my friend. "It is a far far better place you go to than you have ever known" Charles Dickens.
