Mark A. Algier

Mark A. Algier, 66, of Marlborough, loving father of Emily and Sarah Algier of Wethersfield, was relieved of his pain on Tuesday afternoon, October 27, 2015. He was born May 8, 1949 in New Britain and was the son of the late Albert and Helen (Januskiewicz) Algier. Besides his daughters, he leaves his former spouse and close friend, Patty Algier; cousin, Louise Garewski; mother-in-law, Linette Ohanian; brothers-in-law, Jimmy Ohanian and Dale Haslam; sisters-in-law, Betty Rogers, Sue-Anne McCue, Jo-Anne Haslam and Diane Ohanian, as well as 16 nieces and nephews. Besides his parents, he was predeceased by his sister, Karen Algier. You could have found Mark fishing, cooking, on the golf course or spending time at the dog park with his cherished Doberman, Otto. He formed many friendships during his 28 years as an engineer at the State of CT DEEP, as well as during his service overseas in Vietnam as a sniper for the U.S. Army. Special thanks go out to Brock Hallenbeck of Marlborough for giving Otto the best home possible, as well as the unbelievable amount of care and compassion Middlesex Hospital Hospice provided for Mark the last week of his life.
