He grew up in Mapleton and worked cutting trees, hauling wood, and harvesting potatoes. When he was in his 30s, he moved to Windham and worked at Charlie Biggs in Windham and Coyne’s Variety in Westbrook.

After Coyne’s was damaged by fire, Al got a job at Verillos on Riverside Street in Portland. He worked washing dishes for many restaurants in the area such as Valles , Dennys, Friendlys, Holiday Inn, and lastly Thanksgivings. He was always a very hard worker and held two to three jobs at the same time.

Al loved music and spent a lot of time taking Nancy dancing at the Ramada Inn. He also had a very large collection of CDs that he listened to, especially when he could no longer leave the house.
