My deepest and most heartfelt condolences to the family of Mark Hein. Mark and I sang many concerts together in Cleveland and surrounding areas in the 1970’s. We were both students at the Cleveland Institute of Music and studied with the same teacher. Mark was an operatic tenor of astounding natural prowess and could navigate the most demanding operatic tenor passages with shocking ease and beauty of tone. His gift was truly in the league of the greatest of international tenors of all time. In some of our performances, when Mark walked out and started singing, girls wept. It was that beautiful.
Mark had a warm personality and was always alert to a good laugh and we shared many.
This morning for no explicable reason, Mark popped into my mind and I did a search. I am deeply saddened to learn of his death.

Dear Romayne: Thank you for your kind words. Where have all the years gone?! I hope you are well. My sister-in-law and my three special nephews are hanging in there, but it was very difficult losing Mark. It does help to have each other and also to hear from those like you who are kind enough to take time to reach out! Holly
