I think of Mark often and recently went to the 911 memorial to see his picture and pay my respects for everyone lost that day. Mark was a family man and always brought his children to my martial arts studio. Never was he away from his wife and children if he didn't have to be! Awesome husband, dad and friend. I miss him and always think of him. Such a loss for his family and our nation because he would surely be fixing the issues this country is having today!

Mark was one of the best upstanding professionals who lead the Construction Group. I had the pleasure and honor to work with him during my time at J&H and Marsh. As I sit here writing this tribute it’s a beautiful sunny day like it was that morning as you and other colleagues head off to a normal work day. I will never forget you Mark and the things you did through your career. RIP

Mark, I still recall the day when we walked back from the Children's Hospital OCIP interivew. You had crushed it and as we were talking, the sun came out and was shining on your face. Such a good meeting and a lovely walk back.

On this 20th Anniversary of the terrible tragedy we pay tribute to you Mark Charette. Love from your Navy friend Brad and spouse Laura

Each anniversary prayers are said for Mark and all our colleagues that we lost on 9/11. I only knew Mark if he came into the HR office for information. However after his death I remember his wife cing in with their daughter with pins made by she and her classmates in the form of the American flag. I wear it every 9/11 and tell ot b ers who ask about it about her strength and her mom's. Mj Abplanalp 20 years but not forgotten.

I was fortunate to go to high school with Mark. He was very intelligent, quick to smile, and liked by all. My heart goes out to his family. Please know that I and so many people think of him every day and are grateful for having known him.

Mark and I were high school classmates. He was the intelligent, quiet type, and a friendly, helpful kid. We were in many, many classes together over the 4 years of high school. I was shocked and deeply saddened to hear of his death. He will forever be missed.

You were a great friend and colleague Mark. My thoughts with your family who were denied having you in their lives because of this senseless event. My hope is that your family has comfort in marking this day of your loss.

I sat next to Mark. He traveled alot and would ocassionally call if he needed to know if a fax arrived. He was the first guy if the office who knew how to use the only computer that we rolled around on a cart and had to share. He was the smartest colleague I knew. I went to his funeral, among many friends. I cried when his son said he loved going to Home Depot with his dad. I cried again when they played taps. I took company picnic photos and had a special one with him and his children. His wife did a wonderful service to Mark. I don't know where she found the strength . I am sure it continued into the family today as they grew with only the memories of him. He was a role model.

I can’t believe you are gone as well. I have found out of a couple friends lately that have passed away. You were such a sweet man and loved seeing you in the breeze. Will miss you. Ride on and will see you on the other side. LH&R Stacey “stick” Baskin Leather & Lace MC

Mark you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers today as we mark the 14th anniversary of this terrible national tragedy.

I met Mark when he he was a student at college. He stands out in my memory as a really sweet, smart, honorable guy. I was so happy for him and Cheryl when they got engaged, and graduated, and got married. Not surprised that he was a wonderful husband and father. I am so sorry to know that he lost his life at the WTC 12 years ago, and I send my condolences and energy and good wishes to his family and friends. I miss him, too.

I remember you Mark, and I said your name in prayers today at Mass. Rest In Peace.

Mark went to high school with me in Warwick, RI. We were in almost all the same classes. He was quiet and very smart. Aloof, he always seemed to be hanging back, smiling, privately amused by the teenage drama going on around him. He wasn't influenced by it at all as far as I could tell. My friends and I all had crushes on him. I never told him but he probably knew. Once when my parents were out of town we had a robbery at my house, and the police called me to tell me my parents' massive color TV had been recovered. I could drive but there was no way I could lift and carry that large and heavy TV. Somehow Mark volunteered to go with me to the police station and help me get it back in place in our living room before my parents came home. I never forgot how nice he was to do that for someone who was not a close friend, really just a classmate. I have read about him over the years and I am impressed by all he accomplished with his life. I try to be a better mother, a better person, in honor of him. My hopes that his family finds comfort in the respect we all pay to Mark in our hearts, forever. It is a privilege to have known him.

It was nice to see you at the Marsh memorial service. My prayers will be for you and the children this weekend.

GOD BLESS ! MARC WE MISS YOU!!!!

I recently went to the Marsh website to find some information when I found this link. I had the pleasure of putting together with Mark an OCIP for the heatlhcare system I worked for in 1997. We corresponded regularly from 1997 to 2000 about the projects. I know from all the time we spent together that he was a wonderful husband and father, a special person. I also learned that he loved working with wood, restoring the older home they purchased in New Jersey. I often think about Mark when I am working on other OCIP programs, I think about all the OCIP education he passed on. He was one of those rare and special persons that periodically passes through our life. He is certainly missed.

I only recently found the courage to type my dad’s name into Google and found this page. I've been reading all of the posts and would like to add my own tribute. Dad was the most amazing person I've ever known. And now that I look I'm not sure how well I knew him. He cared for everyone was polite and if I can be half the person he was I'll be proud. There was no one I would have rather had for a father. I can't even find the words to describe how proud I am to be his child. I would also love it if you’re reading this if you have a story and want to send it to me; I would be eternally grateful because, I want to know more about the man, who was my father. My email is charemembering@aol.com

This year September 11th is now a national day of service and rememberence. We remember and honor the people lost by rekindling that powerful spirit of patriotism and helping other people that followed those horrific acts of terrorism. Today, I would like to offer a heartfelt thank you to all the people that helped me and my family. Mark was the most amazing person I have ever known. He was a remarkable husband and father. Words cannot express how difficult it was for us to lose him. Your actions, words and prayers helped more than you can know. Thank You.

I had the pleasure of meeting Mark once years ago while he & Cheryl were engaged. One could not help but see the love in his eyes for Cheryl. Funny, how sometimes just a small, one time meeting still seems so fresh in my mind! He will always be remembered by our family in our thoughts & prayers, as well as the family he left behind.

A tribute to my friend and fallen colleague i will never forget! Thoughts and prayers to your family on this 8th year of this tragic loss of such a good person

I had the pleasure to work with Mark on a couple of OCIP sales pitches while I was at Marsh. We spent some time togther in Atlanta preparing for a sales pitch to Delta (which we utlimately got). Mark and I shared similar family make-up (3 kids) and we talked about how important it was to spend time with the fmaily outside of work. I recall his story about letting his wife sleep in while he took the kids to mcdonals for breakfast on weekends. Then there was the 'business Mark' who I nicknamed 'The terminator'. He would sit at meetings with his every ready lap top crunching number while listening to the conversation in the room, never missing a beat. I greatly value the short time I got to know this man. May he rest in peace.. Scott MacDonald

My husband and I watched and took notes on being a good spouse and father from Mark. We were blessed to have known him, to have glimpsed the devotion that made Mark who he was inside. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you, the family he loved so very much.

Mark my thoughts and prayers are always with you and your family. May you rest in peace.

To Cheryl and the family, my thoughts and prayers are with you today.

Gosh, I just heard about Mark's death. Very sad. Great guy. I spent time with him on the USS Pasadena, SSN 752. He was my LT for a bit. He was a very sharp officer and represented our country proudly. I am sure all the guys on the boat could reflect how much of a good guy he was. I don't know if he has a family or not, however I bet he would have been an excellent husband and father. As a Fire Fighter myself, I have heard about many stories and tribulations that had occurred that very sad and ugly day in America. Unfortunely, many of my Fire Figher brothers and now one of my submariner brothers had to perish because of a group of selfish, hateful, inhuman religeous freaks had to make a statement at the expense of innocent Men, Women, and Children.

I remember asking Mark to join us at Fletcher Allen HC, in Vermont. He arrived early so we could get to know him, and be prepared for the client. They had never heard of OCIP - and OCIP was Mark's life. He was great, just a great addition to our team. We did not get the business due to political ties, but Mark was a shining example of what we had to offer. I remember thinking on 9.12 or thereabouts, what a terrible ending to a vibrant and very smart coleagues. I hope his wife and children are doing well.

Spent a lot of time with Mark through 1996 and 1997. Attended J&H; Leadership School with Mark, we were teammates. Worked on numerous OCIP programs as well. Mark was the ultimate professional. Always prepared and freely giving of his time and knowledge. And, no matter how busy he was in preparing a late night skit for JHLS or a proposal for a major OCIP, he would always take time to call home and talk to his wife and kids. As hard as Mark worked, you knew that his family always came first, was always in his thoughts, and always in his heart.

I'm not sure Mark and I ever met, but I spoke with him many times over the years when he called the J&H; National Casualty Office when we were downtown at 125 Broad Street, long before the merger. He was a nice young man, and I was heartbroken to learn he was among the casualties at the WTC. I would like Mark's family and friends to know that he is remembered. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Regina Motreuil [Secretary] 9/17/02

I was Mark's college roomate for three years. Mark was a true gentleman. I have not met many people as kind and selfless as him. I am grateful for having known him and for what I learned from him. I had not talked to him in years (his submarine time and my medical training time will do that) but as I read the tributes to him on the internet I am inspired to strive to become a father like he was. There is not a time when there is mention of 9/11 that I do not think about him and his family and pray for them.

I knew Mark through his wife and children. The last time I spoke to Mark was at our town pool as he played with his children. Mark smiled the entire afternoon and enjoyed the time he had with his family. Mark was a great dad and a wonderful member of his family and community.

I was fortunate enough to have many occassions to work with Mark on a number of sales opportunities. Most of which were successful, thanks to Mark. The team worked hard and sometimes late hours but we always had fun. That is how I will always remember Mark - a hard working, no nonesense, fun colleague. I am a better person for having known him.

My contact with Mark was on a sales opportunity in an area of insurance with which I was wholly unfamiliar and upon which he was expert. I was very glad to have him on my team. When we returned from the appointment, we had occasion to walk down the middle of a usually busy road in Boston. For some reason the road was clear of all cars. The sun was shining, it was a gorgeous Spring day and Mark was smiling with satisfaction. It was a smile earned from hard work and left me with an image of a man at the peak of life.
