Julian E. Alley "Dusty," 74, passed away on March 14, 2023, at his home in Addison.
Dusty is survived by his companion, Mary Beach of Addison; siblings, Carla Lougee (Roger) of Vallejo, CA, Cynthia (Dale) Kenney of Winterport, Dean (Teresa) Alley of Jonesport, Jimmy Alley of Jonesport, Teressa (Phil) Cultrera of Prospect Harbor, and Tammy (Bruce) King of Sanford; sister-in-law, Laura of Jonesport; and several nieces and nephews of whom he was very proud. Dusty was predeceased by his parents, Leo and Ernestine Alley; brothers, Joey, Dwayne and Johnny; and nephew, Todd.
Dusty was born in Jonesport and attended Jonesport schools. He was active in all sports. A couple of his greatest moments were playing on the State Basketball Championship Team of 1966 and being crowned as the State Foul Shooting Champion in 1967, making 47 of 50 shots.
Dusty went on to attend Maine Maritime Academy, graduating in 1971, with a degree in Marine Engineering, a Third Engineer Unlimited Steam and Diesel License and a commission in the U.S. Naval Reserves. Shortly thereafter, he started working for Interstate Oil and Transportation Company as an assistant engineer aboard Tugboat Venturer, towing oil barges along the East Coast. Once sea time and training requirements were met, he obtained his Chief Engineer License and sailed until his retirement, with over 40 years as a merchant marine. He was highly respected within the company and considered to be one of the top engineers.
Dusty adored his beagles and spent many hours walking them on his property. He enjoyed gardening and spending time on his tractor, making improvements and caring for his homestead. Dusty was a quiet person, but his memory bank was full of lifelong friends, sports, politics - you name it. He could recall details at the drop of a hat.
Fairwinds and Following Seas, brother.
A private family service will be held in his honor.
