Alfred Migneault Obituary

Alfred Jordan Migneault, 78 of Rotterdam, died January 27, 2017, with his loving wife Nancy at his side. Al was born on November 20, 1938 in Providence, RI. He was an Eagle Scout and was a graduate of Putnam High School in Putnam, CT. and earned a civil engineering degree from Worcester Polytechnic Institute. Highlights of Al's lifelong career as a civil engineer for New York State's Environmental Conservation Department including construction supervision for the 1980 Olympic Winter Games and state fish hatcheries. He continued to hold his professional engineer license until the time of his death, as well as serving as a trustee to the Atlantic Coast Old Timers Auto Racing Club, and volunteering at Christ Church of the Hills in Mariaville. Never able to idle, his true avocation was building barns, home additions and the family camp. He could always be counted on by his friends and family to help out with any project big or small. A devoted husband of 54 years, he is survived by his wife, Nancy and two children, Melissa (Rick) and Peter (Stacy); five grandchildren, Isabella, Jordan, Alexandra, Owen and Cassidy. Alfred was predeceased by his parents, Alfred and Martha; and sister, Paula Migneault. A memorial service will be held in the Spring.

I was shocked and saddened to learn of Al's passing. Al was my boss for many years at DEC. He was dedicated to his work and his family-an excellent role model. Always hard working. I am so sorry for your loss

Dear Melissa, Isabella and Rick,
On January 27, your Dad walked into the Light of all Ages and was reunited with his parents and sister and generations of Christians. From stories I have heard he embodied the Spirit of giving and helping, caring and compassion, and those left behind are better for having him touch their lives in ways big and small. He led by example,working hard and loving fiercely, so the memories you maintain in your hearts will be colorful and bright and strong. These will make you laugh and cry and share with others his works. You may wonder why now,why him. But, God must have thought you were ready to create your own path would honor your Dad, and there must have been need of another angel to watch over those who were not fortunate enough have anyone in their own lives.

When the wind blows through the trees or you attempt to tap a nail into a board without his guidance...he will be there. So, listen and you will hear him speaking.

Love to all of you and condolences in this time of hardship. May prayers and love and faith, family and friends be your support.

In friendship
