Eugene George Angers, 80, of Keystone Circle, Avon, Ct., husband of Nancy (Spencer) Angers, died early Monday morning, (August 29, 2005) at St. Francis Hospital & Medical Center with his wife, Nancy and daughter, Mary Ellen Angers at his bedside. Besides his wife and daughter, he is survived by two sons, Thomas Edward Angers of Ridgefield, and Marc Eugene Angers of New York City, NY. He was born March 11, 1925 in Springfield, MA, son of the late Henry E. and Annette (Berube) Angers. Mr. Angers was raised in Springfield, MA and was a 1949 graduate of the American International College in Springfield, where he received his Bachelors' Degree in Economics. He was a veteran of World War II having served in the U. S. Air Force in the Pacific Theater. Mr. Angers lead a distinguished and varied career in business while he and Nancy raised their three children. He was employed as an Economist for many years in New York City and finally at the Hamilton Watch Company of Lancaster, PA. Retiring to Pemaquid Beach, ME, he and Nancy eventually decided to operate a small general store in Castine, ME that they called the Tarratine Market. In poor health, following by-pass surgery on two different occasions while in Castine, he, nonetheless, managed to thrive drawing strength from the natural beauty of the landscape and from the kindness and generosity of the town's people. Apart from groceries and gourmet specialties at the store, one could always find good conversation and a moment's sanctuary from life's cares in comfort and prayer if needed; but if asked about his health, Gene's trademark response was always: "Fantastic"! Eugene possessed an artistic nature; he loved music, the piano and cooking. Of the latter, his many original recipes became a mainstay and tradition for those who came to rely upon "Gene's Daily Special" at the Tarratine Market. His faith in God and the goodness of his love touched all of those who knew him and will long be remembered by all of those who loved him. Private burial will be in Pine Meadow Cemetery.
