A GREAT MAN WHO MADE A DIFFERENT IN THE STATE OF MAINE WILL BE SADLY MISSED

Words are just not enough to summarize all that Harold Alfond gave to Waterville, as well as to the entire state of Maine. It was only a year ago that I had heard that his loving wife had passed away...In my younger years I worked for Pacy and Ludy Levine, (Bibby's brothers), at Levine's Clothing in downtown Waterville during the holidays. With the passing of "Bibby" Alfond, Pacy and Ludy Levine, and now Harold Alfond-the last of a family dynasty, will never be forgotten, but instead will...

My Mom, Adrienne Bedard babysat Mr. Alfond's children. She was treated so well and she loved the whole family. she has been gone for 12 years now and I thank you for giving her a position that she loved. I hope the children remember her. Maine has lost a great and kind man.

To the Alfond Family:
You are in our prayers.Your dad made a significant contribution to people in need.I was so pleased to know him during his grand Red Sox days and to share a baseball ,football or hockey game with him.I miss him already.

All the best,

Thank you for all you have done for the people in the State of Maine, the children especially.

I was very honored to have met Mr Alfond and for my son, Shane to have spent time with him. He was certainly a good role model and a friend to all who were lucky enough to meet him. He'll be sadly missed.
