Alfred A. Veilleux

WATERVILLE – Alfred “Al” Veilleux, 81, passed away on Saturday, April 9, 2022, at the Androscoggin Hospice House in Auburn.

Al was born on Sept. 5, 1940, in Vassalboro. He graduated from the Waterville school system in 1960 where he was best known for his cross country running. He held the State Championship for the State of Maine.

Al married his lifelong partner and love, Mary Ann Leadbetter who survives him as well as his son, Paul. He worked as the Mail Room Foreman for the Morning Sentinel in Waterville and the Augusta locations for 45 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 5. They were best known as best buddies and good partners through the years and were often seen on some golf course, somewhere in Maine.

He developed a passion for music and collected over 2,200 records which he enjoyed on his private jukebox from the 1950s. Al could always be found in his basement playing cribbage and pool with his friends while listening to his favorite songs.

No services will be held for Al at this time. Arrangements are under the direction and care of Gallant Funeral Home, 10 Elm St., Waterville. An online guestbook may be signed, condolences and memories shared at http://www.gallantfh.com.
