Mark Leipold Obituary

I lived down the street from Mark on High Forest Drive in Belleville Illinois. We had an idyllic rockwellian childhood playing in the streets and yards and houses. Those were the days you knew EVERYONE on your street. Mark often times took me to high school in his Buick Regal when he was a senior and I was a freshman. Always kind and always friendly.

Janet, Laurie, Trish and families, so sorry for your loss.

My deepest sympathy and prayer to Mark's family.

He was a caring compassionate and humble person. Had the pleasure of working with him at Katten as his assistant

I am a Sigma Chi, Omega Chapter (Northwestern Univ.), class of 1980. I remember Mark as a kind, considerate, and thoughtful brother. He was cheerful, soft-spoken and empathetic, always ready with an encouraging word or gesture, and always willing to pitch in and help where needed. I am saddened to learn of his untimely death. The world needs more people like him and is the poorer for his loss. My condolences to his family. In Hoc Signo Vinces. All Honor to His Name.

A great sense of humor and sharp lawyering skills - I'll miss him. Condolences to his family and colleagues.

Condolences to all of Mr. Leipold's family and friends

Mark was a superstar of a human being. He was warm, kind, compassionate, funny (often in a self-deprecating manner) and optimistic. He was, in the Yiddish parlance, a mensch.

Mark always had a gleam in his eye and his positive disposition and humor had a profound impact on every room he walked into. Mark was one of the very rare people that was truly loved by all who knew him. He will be greatly missed, but he will live on in the cherished memories of his family and friends.

I met Mark almost four yrs ago at Gould and Ratner and from day he welcome me to the firm. I work in the Copy-center so I get to see everyone in the firm five days out of the week . He would ask me to come in and stop to talk sometimes I would tell him I will I have to finish the mail lol He was a very kind Person always treated me like I was part of the family at Gould whenever I had legal questions I would go to mark and he was always willing to help out and would alway say if you need more help feel free to ask . Thank You Mark you will be miss by many me Included Im praying for your family and and thanks for sending Jane to help me out with All that Scanning I had to do she is a very sweet young lady ❤ RIP Mr Mark Leipold

Mark was a great friend in the industry. Truly warm, interested, and helpful. I enjoyed knowing him tremendously.

Mark was always outgoing, friendly and willing to help. A true professional. I will miss him.

I am so sorry to hear of Mark's passing. He was an amazing human being. I will always be grateful for his mentorship as I began my career. He modelled excellence, warmth and compassion for all of us who worked with him. All the best to his family.
