HARRINGTON and CORINTH – Alden Moses Worcester Jr., 88, died peacefully Sept. 4, 2009. He was born July 22, 1921, in Columbia Falls, to Laura Mawhinney Worcester and Alden Moses Worcester Sr. He was the most beloved husband of Opal Iola Malone, who predeceased him.
He leaves behind his second wife and loving companion, Margaret Grover Worcester of Harrington; his sons and daughters-in-law, Robert L. and Diane F. Worcester of Old Town, Eugene and Pamela B. Worcester of Gouldsboro, Brenda J. Worcester of Brewer and Bett and John Alter of Washington, Conn.; stepchildren, Larry Grover of Verona, N.Y., Jane and Harold Skinner of Harrington and Lorna Davis and Herb Christensen of Bangor; grandchildren, Todd and Robbie Worcester of Kennebunk, Amy and Donald Young of Old Town, Darcel Robertson of Brewer, Kimberly Cage of Venice, Fla., Amanda Worcester of Richmond, Va., Lori Ann Huckabey of Clovis, N.M., and Aaron, Emily and Thomasin Alter of Washington, Conn.; along with his many great-grandchildren.
Al was born and raised in the small town of Columbia Falls, where with his many siblings, George Worcester, Florence Gray, Audrey Senechal, Ida Strout, Fred Worcester, Lester Worcester, Robert Worcester and Carolyn Drisko of Lincoln, he spent a childhood well known to all who had the good fortune to hear his lively, loving account. Prominent in this narrative, for instance, is his school-long competition with Inez Grant.
Al served his country proudly as a member of the U.S. Navy during World War II, working in Philadelphia making artificial limbs for wounded soldiers, sailors and Marines.
Al was a beloved member of the East Corinth community for much of his adult life, serving as first selectman and also as an active member of the school board. Al is probably best remembered for his life as an entrepreneur and businessman. An accomplished raconteur, Al used to love telling how he got his start in sales as a small boy peddling Larkin Soap and the Grit newspaper, winning as a premium his only new toy – a little red wagon. A successful car dealer, Al defined his own wealth by the number of loyal customers who returned because they knew he was honest and reliable and by a wide circle of close friends and a loving extended family. Al loved his trucks and he loved mowing his lawn and is remembered for what he often referred to as “mutual forbearance.” His delight in conversation, the way he enjoyed meeting strangers, his teasing good humor, his boundless pride in his grandchildren, his playfulness – these are how he is remembered.
Friends may call 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. Sunday at Thompson Funeral Home, 17 Hudson Road, Corinth, where funeral services will be held 1 p.m. Monday with the Rev. Ronald Libby officiating.
Burial will be at Corinthian Cemetery, Corinth.
