Dr. Mark Barry Lempert – of Swampscott, entered into rest on Monday, October 8, 2018, surrounded by his loving family and friends. He valiantly battled Stage IV pancreatic cancer for over a year. Born in the Bronx, NY, he was the son of the late Samuel and Blanche (Kraft) Lempert. He was the beloved husband and best friend of Linda Lempert, with whom he shared 43 special years.
Mark loved his work as a physician and equally loved sharing his humor, quick-wit, talents and passions for nature, the arts, and travel with loved ones.
Those left to cherish Mark’s memory are his devoted children: Amanda Lempert Pesa, her husband Patrick Pesa and grand-pup Foxy; Brian Lempert and wife Myrna Gerrans Lempert. He will also be missed by his sister Janet Friedlich and her husband Leo; his sister-in-law Arlene Weiss; many nieces and nephews; and a treasure trove of dear friends, old and new.
