Mark Ludwig Obituary

Dear Mark's family, We were saddened to hear about Mark today, July 8. We lived next door to Mark for many years on 21st Place, and he was a great friend and neighbor. We enjoyed barbeques, cooking, wine and the occasional sunset. He always had a special smile & hello for our daughter, Julia. Julia shared a love for Mark's adopted cat, Houlihan. We also remember his inspiring battle to beat cancer. We are sorry that we didn't know about the Manhattan Beach gathering, and wanted to send our condolences on your loss. With deep sympathy, The Chambers family

Shari,

I have never left a condolence on line but I have had an overwhelming desire to express my sympathy to you. My heart breaks for you but I know that with the comfort of your family and friends, you will rebound. If there is anything I can do or anything that you need, please let me know. I will keep you and your family in my prayers. Bless you! Sincerely,

Diane

I really liked Mark. I can picture so clearly his beautiful eyes, his peaceful expression and his infectious smile. He was gentle, soft-spoken and playful...beautiful on the inside and the outside. It's so disturbing to realize the torment he must have been going through. It's such a tragic loss. I'll miss him, too.

Love,

Janice Hefter

Dear Phyllis,



The loss of your dear son, Mark, is a tragedy of great dimension. My heart is full of sadness for you and your family. Please accept my condolences, and I pray you will be comforted by the support of your family and many friends.



Love, Charlene

My deepest condolences. I am sorry I won't be with you at the Saturday sundown service in Manhattan Beach but my thoughts are with you and your family. Mark had a uniqueness to him and he will be missed.

Dear Phyllis, Shari and family,



Speaking for myself and perhaps many of Mark's friends and co-workers here in Los Angeles, please accept my sincere condolences on your loss. It has been a painful few days since we heard of your tragedy. The internet and phones have been filled with outpourings of sadness, shock, grief and loss. I've known Mark for more than 20 years, which is nearly half a lifetime and an eternity in our business. I learned a lot from him. He was one of the best Assistant Cameramen I have ever known, and one of the best Camera Operators, too. I will miss him. Hopefully I will be present with you at the vigil for him on Saturday night.



With sympathy,



Scott Kaye

Phyllis and Cheri,



My sincerest condolences to you and your families. The memories I have from my youth of being with Mark, our Bar Mitzvah together, and your family will be always cherished. He was such a great spirit, I'm so sorry for your loss.
