He worked as the Mail Room Foreman for the Morning Sentinel in Waterville and the Augusta locations for forty-five years. He was best known for his big heart and generosity to all his mailroom crew. Al was devoted not only to his beloved wife Mary Ann, but also his best buddy and son, Paul. Al bought Paul his first set of golf clubs at the tender age of five. They were best known as best buddies and good partners through the years and were often seen on some golf course, somewhere in Maine.
