Albert King was formerly of Fairfax and a BFA graduate.
Albert Emery King
LITTLETON, NH. - Albert “Al” King was born in Fairfax, Vermont to Andrew Albert King and Cecile Reynolds King on March 25, 1924. He was 94 years old (05/21/2018) and was predeceased by his brother Everett King of Fairfax, Vermont. Albert is survived by his wife of 69 years, Rita Bilodeau King, as well as five children and their spouses: Lois and Michael Michaud of Burke, VT, Donna and Thomas Bueb of Lancaster, NH, David King and Mary Ellen Lynch of Shelburne, VT, Carol and Robert Bent of Layton, UT, and Nancy J. King of Websterville, VT. He was grandfather to David Michaud, Michelle Harvey, Christopher Fisher, Anna King and Sarah King.
After graduating from Bellows Free Academy in Fairfax, he joined the U.S. Coast Guard and worked in Naval Intelligence as a Communications Specialist in Africa during WW II, intercepting enemy radio transmissions. Upon returning from the War, Albert earned his commercial pilot’s license and worked for a number of years ferrying small planes for Cessna from Wichita, Kansas to the northeast region. Other jobs included selling maple sugaring products for the George H. Soule Company selling their primary product, the King evaporator named after Albert’s grandfather. He later sold Ford cars at C.P. Smith in the Burlington, VT area and later at Downing’s Ford in Littleton, NH. Albert then worked for 24 years until his retirement at the U.S. Post Office in Littleton, NH.
It was in October of 1949 that he married Rita Bilodeau King of St. Albans, VT. They lived first in Fairfax, VT, then Essex Junction, VT and beginning in 1958, on Maple Street in Littleton, NH.
Albert’s greatest loves were hiking in the White Mountains, going to car races with friends and family, and going for long drives throughout New England. He and his wife Rita crossed the United States numerous times on camping trips with their pop-up camper in tow, gathering pictures and stories on their way.
Albert’s love and devotion to his wife and family were always evident throughout his long and rich life. He was a life-long Yankees fan, but we all forgave him for that flaw.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Edmundite Missions (www. edmunditemissions.org, or Edmundite Missions, 1428 Broad Street, Selma, Alabama 36701), a charity Albert and Rita supported for many years.
A church service will be held at Saint Rose of Lima Church, 82 High St, Littleton, NH at 11am Friday, June 15th, followed by a reception in the basement of Saint Rose. Internment of Albert’s ashes will occur in a private ceremony at Glenwood Cemetery at a later date.
