Carl Kirkor Torossian, 95

Carl Kirkor Torossian, a 60-year resident of Acton, passed away on April 3, 2025, at Newbury Court three weeks before his 96th birthday.

Born on April 24, 1929, in Haverhill, Carl spent his early years in Somerville before settling in Acton with his beloved wife, Mae Roessler Torossian, and their children, Sandra and Eric. A graduate of Somerville High, he went on to earn a certificate in dental technology. He opened and operated Acton Dental Laboratory until he retired at 65. Carl was devoted to his family, friends, and community. He served as master of the Somerville Masonic Lodge in 1957, 1994, and 2012. He was a longtime volunteer at Emerson Hospital who was known for his humming during patient transport, and he was a dedicated member of the St. Matthew’s Church choir in Acton.

An avid outdoorsman, Carl was a seasoned hiker and a proud member of the Appalachian Mountain Club’s Four Thousand Footer Club.

Ever present in their lives, he is survived by his daughter Sandra Torossian Lemack; his son Eric Torossian, and his daughter-in-law Kirsten Howe Torossian; his grandchildren Andrew Torossian (Chelsey King), Peter Lemack (Jennifer Freeburn), Christopher Torossian, and Elisa Lemack; his great-grandchildren Oliver and Violet Mae; extended family, beloved friends, and his caregivers.

Family and friends will gather to honor and remember Carl at his memorial service at 11 a.m. on Saturday, June 28, at St. Matthews United Methodist Church, 435 Central Street, Acton. A luncheon will follow at the church.
