Mark Lacic, of Bristol, peacefully passed away on Sunday, Nov. 19, surrounded by loved ones, after a difficult battle with Glioblastoma Multiforme.
Mark was born in Hartford to Mary Lacic and the late Zygmunt Lacic, the first generation born here in America. Mark always talked about the strength his parents had coming over from Poland to America and held great appreciation for the values he was taught.
Mark attended Newington High School before joining the United States Navy where he proudly served aboard the USS Petersen (DD-969). After serving, he attended CCSU and worked in the health and safety field.
In addition to his mother, Mary Lacic of Newington, Mark is survived by his wife, Nicole (LaVoie) Lacic and their children: Ethan and Madison; his sister and brother-in-law: Dorothy and Jason Margarido of Washington; his sister: Theresa Lacic of Florida; his mother-in-law: Pamela LaVoie of Bristol; his brother-in-law: Matt LaVoie of Bristol; his sister-in-law and brother-in-law: Kristen and Joey Cardello of Bristol; his niece: Amelia McCall; his nephew and godchild: Noah McCall; and his nephew: Levi Cardello. He is also survived by many aunts, uncles and cousins. He was predeceased by his father-in-law: Samuel LaVoie.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Saturday, Nov 25, at 11:30 a.m. at St. Stanislaus Church, 510 West St., Bristol. Burial, with military honors, will follow in St. Joseph Cemetery, Bristol.

This decision is based on our financial projections and, most certainly, to remind people that TBE is serious about providing accurate, timely and thorough reporting for Bristol. To do this we have devised a financial support structure that makes unlimited access extremely affordable, beginning with a $6 monthly donation.
- Non-members will be able to access four (4) articles per week.
- Free readers and people who have subscribed by email will be able to access four (4) articles per week.
- Donors and financial supporters will have unlimited access as long as they log in.
Note: Donors may have to contact TBE if they find they are being limited, since we will need to set up a membership account for you. Email editor@bristoledition.org for instructions. Sorry for any inconvenience. People with financial difficulties may write editor@bristoledition.org to be considered for free access.
