1958 – 2013

BOSTON, Mass. — Mark Ray Anctil, 54, of Boston, Mass., and formerly of Lewiston, died July 15 after a courageous battle with cancer.

Mark was born on Nov. 13, 1958, in Lewiston, a loving an devoted son of Raymond L. Anctil and Claire Roger-Anctil.

Following high school, Mark moved to Boston to attend Suffolk University and the University of Massachusetts. He worked as an accountant in the health industry, and started a health staffing agency in Boston, Worcester, Mass., and Providence, R.I., with his business partner, Harry Moraitis.

Known to family and friends as a caring, generous person, Mark enjoyed traveling throughout the U.S. and Europe, and was an avid reader — especially books dealing with American history and presidents.

Family and friends will miss his many visits to Maine.

Mark is survived by his parents; his twin brother, Steve Sr., and brothers Kerry and John; his partner, John Driscoll; and dear friends, Sally Jenks, Chuck Ellis and Harry Moriatis.
