Albert was born on Nov. 6, 1934 in Calais, Maine, the son of Albert W. and Beulah S. (Crockett) Bishop, Sr. He moved with his family to Upton, Massachusetts as a youngster and received his education locally. Following high school, Al served in the U.S. Army, from 1958 to 1964, where he served with distinction as a medic.
Al was a master cabinet maker, who started his own business in Milford, Massachusetts throughout the ‘60’s and bought out Olsen Woodworking Company. He was well-known for his integrity in his business practices and his talents were evident in the beautiful kitchens he designed. When you entered a home, you knew Al’s signature style and taste in woods, stain and functionality.
In 1990, Al and his wife Anne, moved to Wadleigh Pond in Lyman, where they made many friends and enjoyed country living. He had his workshop that kept him busy and once in a while he enjoyed hunting. Al was a devoted husband and father who loved spoiling his grandchildren. He was a kind and generous neighbor and will be missed by all who had the good fortune of knowing him.
He is lovingly survived by his daughter, Denice M. Morais and husband Joe; his three grandsons, Jeffrey Morais and wife Jacqueline; Christopher Morais and wife Jennifer and their 3-year-old daughter, Marisa; and Timothy Morais, all of Milford, Massachusetts; his sister, June Eaton of Brooklyn, Maine and his brother, Alan Bishop of Florida; and several nieces and nephews.
Al was predeceased by his wife Anne (Riley) Bishop in 2010 and by his sister, Elizabeth Aldrich.
Family and friends may call on Sunday, Feb. 12, 2017 from 1 to 3:30 p.m. at the Autumn Green Funeral Home, 47 Oak St., in Alfred. Al will be laid to rest with military honors at Chadbourne Cemetery, next to his wife Anne, later in the spring.
