I was beyond saddened to hear of the passing of Mark. Our parents were dear friends and from little kids on,we would get together and have a blast raiding Bob Sr's vending truck, of course with his permission and brown paper bags handed to us. We've known each other for over 50 years and sadly haven't seen Mark recently but keep in touch via his brother Bob who is my dentist. Ironically my son had Mark for his band director between FL Wight and Hale and he always admired Mark and would speak about him often. It is true when they say life is fragile but, in the end, we are all Blessed to have had the opportunity to know and love Mark. My deepest sympathy to his wife and children and their extended families and to brother Bob and his wife. May the memories and the love of family and friends help you through this difficult time. The Holy Angels band now has one of the greatest conductors at its helm. " Till We Meet Again Dear Friend"

To this day every time in get in a swimming pool I think of Mark and how he started swimming at UWM I believe, and how me managed to whip himself into shape with this daily routine. He has been an inspiration all of my life! My sincere condolences to his family. Amy

So sorry to hear about the loss of Mark, I ran into him at the New Berlin Farmers market a couple of years ago and we shared stories from the past. He even remembered the GIANT Banana splits we had at Mcallisters drug store on Greenfield Ave probably 50 years ago. Colleen and I and our family will keep him and his family in our prayers.

Please accept my deepest condolences for Mark’s passing. I grew up with Bob and lived on 63rd St. I did not realize Mark and I shared the same birthdate one year apart. May you find peace in the memories you hold.

Mark was my cousin. What I remember most about Mark is in grade school and junior high I played the clarinet twice a week I would walk to my lessons and sometimes I’d walk in and there was Mark Meddaugh my cousin was the sub for that day. He was so patient with me even though I was so embarrassed to play my clarinet in front of him. He was always so nice to me as a 10 to 14 year-old . Every time he would share a funny story about his dad and my dad . As I got older I did not see him much but if I was driving and I look over and see him we would just look at each other and point to our noses and we knew exactly who it was. A MEDDAUGH OF COURSE. So sorry for your loss Joy and family

I'm so sorry for your loss. I first met Mark in classes at UWM in the 70's and later played with him in the horn band "Brethren" - he was a gifted musician, teacher and a wonderful person. I cherish the chances I had early in my career to perform with him. Like Mark, I taught in West Allis-West Milwaukee, and I know that he was a blessing to his students.

I met Mark at UWM back in the 70' S. Became good friends. Drank beer and talked about music. Those were great years. Mark and I went to form the 22nd Street Horn Band. Many great memories. I thank God the band got back together so that I could enjoy his company for at least couple more years. Great guy, great family. Joy and family. We will continue to remember the good times. He will be missed not forgotten.

So saddened by this news. Mr Meddaugh had an incredible influence on me considering music education as a career. He was an amazing teacher (my favorite teacher), cared deeply about his students, and always made us laugh! My thoughts are with your family during this difficult time.

Mark and I sold at New Berlin farmers market next to each other for several years and I enjoyed his humor very much. Enjoyed tossing him radishes to put in our bloody Mary’s at winter market. We always had a laugh on Saturday morning over something. He gifted me two dozen jars when I told him I wanted to attempt making my own salsa. He will be dearly missed and never forgotten. Joy and the girls will be in my prayers.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Mark was a very good colleague, teacher, mentor, and friend during my years at Nathan Hale. His "down to Earth" attitude regarding teaching helped me put many things in perspective while I learned my craft of teaching music. He was a fun loving and gregarious individual who left this world all too soon. My condolences to Joy and the family on your loss. My God Bless your hearts with peace and fond memories in the days, weeks, months, and years to come. ~ John

Very Sorry for your loss. Mark and I were band directors in WA/WM for a good number of years. He was a lot of fun with a large smile and great attitude. I had not seen him in recent years and will miss him. (a shock to hear of his passing at only 62.) My thoughts are with you and the entire Meddaugh family.

To the Family: I am so sorry for your loss. My path crossed with Mark's only every now and then at West Milwaukee High. I do have a significant memory of a band/orchestra/concert at Jefferson. The band students had only just started lessons and had only been playing for about 6 weeks. There would be no "band" piece played because they just weren't ready for that. Mark played something with every kid, every instrument. It was perhaps scales or a simple rhythm, or a simple melody. He played with each of them like they were playing the greatest symphony! I was impress with the fact that he knew every instrument but more importantly that he gave every child the spotlight and opportunity to shine in front of his/her parents!
