ALBERT FORESTER

I was lucky enough to be friends with "Albie" for the past 10 years, I met him because my wife is his niece, we would spend on average two or three hours on either Saturday or Sunday visiting him at his home. He would always have a Red Sox story to tell us. And he also would show us the different memorabilia that he had collected over the years, but what I remember and enjoyed the most was him letting me wear his '07 & '04 WS rings, I was lucky enough to have my picture taken while trying...

In 1994, I did some work at Fenway Park where I met Al. At the time, my 7 year old son, Richard, had had a serious accident and spent a week in Children's Hospital. I told Al about it and he told me to bring Richard to the park when he was feeling better. I brought him to Fenway and Al brought him on the field, gave him a mini-tour, presented him a Red Sox promotional baseball and a Roger Clemens poster. He made Richard a lifelong Red Sox fan and an unforgettable memory for both of us. ...

After losing track for 20 years, I'm so glad to have found and made contact with you this past year.

Al was always so kind-hearted. In 1957 when my Mom was pregnant (with me), he made sure she had seats in the owner's box with Mrs. Yawkey while my father was studying at Boston University on the GI Bill. Most all of us nephews and nieces received the grand tour of Fenway and got an unforgettable tour inside the scoreboard in left field.

I was lucky enough to work with Al for five years at Fenway. He greeted us at arrival everyday and quickly became my favorite guy in the whole park. He invited me and my father to his home where he showed my dad photos and memorabilia from his time at Fenway.
When I taught special education in Boston public schools, Al invited two full classrooms of Special Ed students for a free, private tour of Fenway. He marched those kids all over the park and even inside the Monster.
I will...

Dear Uncle Al's view on Nursing Homes, always a character. :)

We would like to extend condolences to the Forester family on the loss of Al.

We met Al through my cousin , Bo Myers (from Arizona) and we would say hello to him when we visited Fenway. He was always friendly and treated us like we'd know him forever.

He even allowed our children to try on his World Series ring.

Truly, a nice man with a great heart.

Sincerely,

Mark, Marie, Angela, and Stephen Sudik

"Albie" was the pride of his hometown of Woburn! He graciously greeted his Woburn friends at his second home of Fenway Park. For nearly 50 years I have had season tickets in Box 10, seats1 and 2 which were at ground level, Row 1. "Albie" never missed to make a visit with my children and me as he leaned over the red brick wall to say hello. And how thrilled the children would be when " Albie" slipped them a ball or giveaway day gift. We will always remember the kid from the West side of...
