Albert L. "Al" Marcotte, 86, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, August 29, 2007, surrounded by his family. Born in Lynn, MA, he grew up in Derry, NH, where he was a graduate of Pinkerton Academy. During World War II, he enlisted in the U.S. Navy and graduated from the Keystone School, a U.S. Naval Training School. Al served in the Pacific Theatre. After the war, he graduated from Bryant and Stratton Business School of Boston. Albert was a comptroller at several automobile dealerships in the Boston area. In 1956, he became a partner in Al-Warren Ford in Manchester, NH. In 1961, he started Al Marcotte Ford of Holyoke, MA. Al was a Director of Holyoke National Bank and the Bank of Boston. He was active in civic affairs through the Lions Club, the Eagles and the American Legion. He was the recipient of many awards from Ford Motor Company and held offices in several automotive organizations. He and his wife lived in Longmeadow for twenty-five years before retiring to Florida in 1986. They were members of Springfield Country Club for twenty-five years and belonged to several golf clubs in Florida. Al was predeceased by his lovely wife of fifty-eight years, Marie-Louise (Pieroni) Marcotte in December, 2004. He moved back to the Springfield area in September 2005.
He will be greatly missed by his children, Linda Gleason and her husband, David, of Longmeadow, Bryan Marcotte and his wife, Carlene, of South Hadley and Jeannie Filomeno and her husband, Michael of Longmeadow. He also leaves his seven grandchildren, Kristin Fisher, Craig Gleason, Suzanne Keller, Carolyn and Michael Marcotte, James and Jacquelyn Filomeno, and his three great-grandchildren, Jacob and Emily Fisher and Jackson Keller who loved him so much. Al's enthusiasm for all sports and especially his Red Sox was only surpassed by his love for his family. He enjoyed spending time with his buddies, George, Bill and Ray, as well as many other friends at Keystone Woods.
