Albert Rocheteau, Jr., known to his friends as “Bubby”, passed away unexpectedly of natural causes on Sunday, June 16, 2019 at his home in Brookline, MA. He was 52.
Born in Provincetown, he was the son of the late Albert, Sr. and Carolyn Rocheteau. Albert grew up in the west end of Provincetown on Conant Street, graduating from Provincetown High School in 1984 as Salutatorian. He received his B.A. in 1988 from Boston College. At both Provincetown High School and Boston College, Albert forged lifelong friendships and touched the lives of everyone that he met.
Albert pursued a career in marketing in the financial services industry, holding several senior level positions, most recently with RBC Global Asset Management.
Throughout his life, Albert received several awards and commendations. Perhaps his favorite was one he received as a student, “The Brown University Book Award”. The award is "bestowed to the individual that best exemplifies their abilities in written and spoken language with attributes that promise a life lived with usefulness and reputation.” Fitting, as Albert lived his life with a fierce loyalty to the people he held with regard and the convictions he lived by.
He was an avid sports fan, supporting all Boston teams, with a particular affinity for the Patriots. He enjoyed spending time with his many friends, traveling the world, attending the US Open, dining out, theatre, working out, the beach, reading and even- the HBO Game of Thrones series. Bubby lived life on his terms and touched all who knew him. We will all miss his infectious smile, unique boisterousness and candid authenticity as well as his incredible sense of humor and understanding of people.
