Tribute Page for Mark Rosenberg

Mark Rosenberg

Mark L. Rosenberg met his future wife, Jennifer, in 1995 on a seven-hour bus ride to Richmond, Va., for a Jewish youth program. He was trying to shine a flashlight on a book and turn the pages at the same time. She sat behind him, and finally offered to hold the flashlight. He gratefully accepted.

"I thought he was really cute," said Mrs. Rosenberg, who recalled being smitten by his green-blue eyes and smile.

Mr. Rosenberg, 26, a software developer for Marsh & McLennan, was no stranger to buses, or subways, for that matter. His friends called him "Mr. Public Transportation" because he favored mass transit over driving because of concern for the environment. His wife recalls him hailing a cab only three times during their courtship and marriage.

An avid cyclist, Mr. Rosenberg also used to ride from his home in Teaneck, N.J., over the George Washington Bridge and down to Central Park on Sunday mornings.

"He loved the city," his wife said. "He never wanted to go anywhere else."

Mark was taken before I truly got to know him -- as the next generation of our family. My heart aches for his young wife, for his mother - my cousin Janet - who will never be the same, for his siblings who lost their leader, for his uncle Neil who deeply misses him on their bike rides and frequent talks together, for his grandmother, and for all those who knew who he was, and know the lost treasure of who he was becoming. Becoming a member myself of the MMC family brings the tragedy closer. I am glad he was surrounded by so many people who loved and respected him.

For those of you who never got the chance to meet mark your lives are missing a spark that ignited your sense that you just met someone that was truly passionate. Althought iam sad that i will never again be able to have our long conversations of just about any topic mark found interesting ( and there were a lot of subjects ) I CELEBRATE the fact that I got to meet him and he considered me a friend ! My life has been better for it . At night when your alone with just your thoughs and you look up to the stars ( i know you all do ) and you speak to your loved ones who have passed on to the other side, do as i do and say a litte hello to a guy who was a REAL STANDUP MAN --- HES LISTENING !

Vaya con Dios my friend

My prayers and thoughts are with your family. Although I never knew you, I of the same name feel a deep sense of loss having viewed this memorial.

I don`t know why, but I was thinking about my friend Mark Rosenberg, the same mark I went to camp with perhaps 15 years ago. I have not seen Mark since we were waiters at camp Na-sho-pa, it is likely that I dont remmeber his face. If this is the same Mark I want to say he was the best and kindess friend ever. Imaging a foreign boy, with almost no english and no friends at camp, and he was willing to share and help in everyway possible. I would like to know if this is my friend. If is not my friend I would sure hope that this kind of tradegy won`t repete so we won`t loose valuable and remarkable people as the one being described in this tribune.

I happened to be looking for a job at Marsh McLennan and found this website. I read the tributes to Mark Rosenberg and others and felt compelled to express my sorrow over the loss to his family, his friends, his colleagues and to everyone who lost someone in the 9/11 tragedy. I wish you all the best and may God Bless You.
