coness Road in Concord, MA. Margarita
will be laid to rest with her sister Erna,

cherished memories in the guest-
book at boston.com/obituaries.LINDSAY, Mark
Age 75, died unexpectedly on Septem-
ber 6, 2019, at his home on the Mill
River in Gloucester. Mark was always
happiest “messing about in boats”.
Childhood summers spent sailing and
seeing wooden boats being built in
coastal Connecticut inspired a lifelong
passion. At 14, his father helped him
build his first boat from a kit, the
Sailfish in which Mark began to win
races on Cape Cod. After a false start in
college, he spent a year doing the dirty
work making fiberglass racecar bodies
at the boatyard in Marblehead where
America’s Cup yachts were outfitted.
He applied his love for drawing to the
study of architecture and structural
engineering at Penn and MIT, where
he trained just as much at the Sailing
Pavilion.
Not one for corporate life, Mark left
grad school to work in Joe Duplin’s
boatbuilding shop, then joined a crew
to sail across the Atlantic, ending up in
the Caribbean. He worked as a yacht
designer for Dick Carter in the Tower
in Nahant, while racing in the 505 fleet
in Marblehead. In 1975, he opened his
own shop in Manchester, building the
Fireball dinghy which Joan Ellis skip-
pered to the world championship, the
first woman to do so.
From Gloucester, Mark’s shop
produced boats for sailors worldwide,
ranging in size from double-handed
dinghies to ocean-racing keelboats.
The shop supplied parts for successful
America’s Cup campaigns and launched
the boat which won the Bermuda Race
in 1992 with Mark and designer Carl
Schumacher among those on board.
What Mark loved most in his work was
the chance to collaborate and form last-
ing relationships with coworkers and
customers alike.
In 1996, he founded Boston Boat-
Works in East Boston with Scott Smith
and Geoff Berger, building custom
racing and cruising sailboats, and then
production motor yachts, growing the
company to 140 employees in Charles-
town.
Mark volunteered his time starting
a boatbuilding program at the Shore
school in Beverly; serving on the board
of the Essex Shipbuilding Museum and
at Courageous Sailing in Charlestown;
and at the Appalachian Mountain
Club’s Three Mile Island camp, for
which he hoped to create a green
electric boat.
Encouraged by his wife Marty to
follow his passion, he began taking
watercolor classes with Joel Janowitz,
and as Mark said, “hundreds of paint-
ings later, I’ve discovered a whole new
excitement in being alive.” At the time
of his passing he was planning to retire
to spend more time painting and sail-
ing his beloved wooden boat.
Mark was predeceased by his parents
Donald and Dorothy (Breck) Lindsay.
He is survived by his wife of 37 years,
Marty Morgan Lindsay; his two chil-
dren, Ian of Gloucester, and Tamsin, of
Beaverton, Oregon; his sister Shaylor
Lindsay and her partner Greg Lenhart,
of Lexington; nephew Ethan Magno of
Cambridge; sister-in-law Linda Coan
of Ipswich; niece Lisa Abitbol and her
husband Christian Pierce, and their son
Kai, of Lexington; sister-in-law Veronica
Morgan of Gloucester; brother-in-law
William Morgan of Cornelia, GA; aunt
Yvonne Lindsay of Middleboro, MA;
cousin Jill Palenstijn of Plympton, MA;
and cousin Evelyn Breck Morgen of
Haddam, CT. He will be greatly missed
by all who worked, played, sailed and
danced with him.
A celebration of his life will be held
on Saturday, September 21, from
12 – 3 at the Shalin Liu Performance
Center, Rockport, MA. Contributions in
his memory may be made to Coura-
geous Sailing, Charlestown, MA. http://www.

Passed away on August 30,- Born on January 24,
1935 to Harriet Jacobs
Field and Edward Olsen Field of
Weston, MA, Charlie spent his
childhood in Weston and Marion, MA,
and lived in Brookline and Wayland,
MA, and Dover, NH.
Charlie’s love of education and the
pursuit of knowledge led him to study
at Proctor Academy (Class of 1952),
Harvard University (BA, 1956), Sim-
mons College (MLIS, 1962), and Suffolk
University Law School (JD, 1972).
Charlie devoted his professional career
to sharing his passion for learning with
others, teaching history at Palm Valley
School in Rancho Mirage, CA, as a
librarian with the Brookline, MA Public
Library system, and ultimately as a ten-
ured professor and assistant law librar-
ian at Northeastern University School
of Law in Boston, MA (1973-1994).
Charlie also took deep pride and joy in
his service with the US Army, studying
intensive Indonesian at the US Army
Language School (now the Defense
Language Institute) in Monterey, CA,
and decoding Indonesian intelligence
with the National Security Agency. His
endless sense of adventure led him on
unique travels, including scootering his
Lambretta across Europe, traveling off
the beaten path throughout the US and
Canada on summer “sabbaticals” with
his children, and venturing through
1980’s Cold War China, Mongolia, and
the USSR, while proudly toting his US
Army duffel bag.
But far and away, Charlie’s great-
est gifts were his kind, gentle and
non-judgmental spirit, and the deep,
abiding and truly unconditional love
he showered upon all the people in his
life. He was exceptionally proud of and
deeply loyal and devoted to his “im-
mediate, blended, and extended family”
as he so affectionately called his “tribe”.
Charlie was sadly predeceased by his
life-partner and beloved companion
of 38 years, Susan Zakon. He will be
deeply missed by his beloved daughters
and their spouses: Jocelyn Field Caple,
MD and Brian, of Somersworth, NH;
Gwendolyn Field Noto and Tom, of
Fairfield, CT; Susan’s children, David
Zakon of Los Angeles, CA; and Shari
Feibel, and her husband, Bruce, of
Brookline, MA; and his stepson, Jordan
Finegold, and his wife, Amy Klaben, of
Bexley, OH. Charlie will also be missed
by his grandchildren, Blake and Julia
Caple; Thomas, Nicholas and Grace
Noto; and Sam and Eli Feibel; as well as
his brothers and sisters-in-law, Edward
O. Field of Denver, CO; Henry and Beryl
Field of Framingham, MA; and Hon.
Joseph H. and Georgina Field of Free-
port, ME; his former wife and her life
partner, Jean Field and Charlie Rose;
and his many nieces, nephews, cousins,
and friends. Charlie and his family
are eternally grateful to the staff and
residents at Watson Fields in Dover,
NH, where Charlie enjoyed outstanding
and loving care, companionship, and
mischief over the last two years; and for
the expert and compassionate care by
the providers and staff at Frisbie Me-
morial Hospital in Rochester, NH over
the past decade. With Charlie’s passing,
gone is the vast repository of family,
local, and world wisdom and lore. Gone
is the inimitable generosity of spirit,
which overspread everyone he met with
extraordinary and unique goodness. We
shall all miss him terribly.
Calling Hours will be held on Octo-
ber 11, 2019 from 1:00pm-6:00pm, at
the home of Shari and Bruce Feibel,
in Brookline, MA, with a celebration
ofCharlie’slifeat2:00pm.Inlieuof
flowers, memorial contributions may be
made to The Tiny Miracles Founda-
tion in Darien, CT. To sign our online
