FAIRFIELD – Albert Bellows, 82, of Fairfield died peacefully Saturday, Jan. 6, 2024, at home with family by his side.

He was born in Waterville to George and Mildred Bellows on March 16, 1941. He married his wife Irene on January 8, 1960. They had six children.

Albert retired from Scott paper after 32 years. He was an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed hunting, fishing, and trapping. He collected guns, knives, and bullets. He travelled around Maine, walking through the woods and could find any pond you asked him about. He was a registered Maine Guide, a lifetime member of the national Rifle Association, Maine Trappers Association, North American Fishing Club, and the North American Hunting Club. He has many ribbons for shooting from The Maine Muzzle loaders at competitions from around Maine.

He had a way of making any room quiet, telling stories of where he hunted and fished, deer he shot, friends he was with, shooting down Christmas trees, and pranks he played. He loved his family and friends and would laugh at his grandchildren and great grandchildren with adoration.

He was predeceased by his wife Irene, Son Albert Jr., and Parents George and Mildred.

He is survived by his brother Richard and wife Diana Bellows of Pittsfield; sister Diane Perry of Peebles Ohio; sister Cathy and husband George Ouellette of Monmouth; his daughter Patricia Rucci of Clarksville, Tenn.; daughter Dawn Buzzell and husband Brian of Fairfield; daughter Pamela Connors of El Paso, Texas.; daughter Jennifer Palow and husband Kevin of Clinton; and son Joseph Bellows of Clarksville, Tenn.
