Albert A. Carpentier, 71, of Londonderry, NH, passed away Wednesday May 22, 2019, surrounded by his loving family in the Lahey Clinic, Burlington, MA. He was born in Brockton, MA on December 24, 1947, a son of the late Roland and Dorothy (Epsey) Carpentier. Albert was a graduate of Lowell High School, Lowell, MA, Class of 1966.
Al enjoyed watching the birds in the front yard, watching football and cheering on the Patriots. He also enjoyed cooking, especially making his famous meatballs which everyone loved. Al loved his three-legged rescue cat, Try-Paw and enjoyed his Saturday “rides to nowhere” with his wife, Catherine. Most of all, Al was a devoted family man, who loved his family with all his heart. He always made time to help with anything that they needed. When Catherine would leave for work in the morning, Al would always text to tell her that he loved her followed by many heart and flower emojis. He took great joy in telling anyone who would listen how proud he was of his children and grandson, Dillon. He and Dillon were partners in crime, spending time together often and especially liked going out for lunch.
He is survived by his beloved wife of 48 years, Catherine R. (Shaw) Carpentier, his son, Al Carpentier, and daughter Michelle Carpentier, all of Londonderry, his grandson, Dillon Carpentier, one sister, Mary Carpentier of Casa Grande, AZ and two nephews, Gregory and Geoffrey Gagnon. He was predeceased by one sister, Margaret Gagnon.
