Date of Birth: November 29, 1928
Alfred George Heidke, 93, passed away peacefully at home with his daughter and her husband in Greene, Maine at the end of January 2022. He was born in Boston to Alfred George and Laura (Adamson) Heidke on November 29, 1928.
He grew up in the Boston area, graduated from Boston Trade School and Wentworth Institute. Alfred served in the United States Air Force and was honorably discharged in 1952. He married Marjorie (Clements) in 1957 and together they raised their family in Massachusetts. After retirement from Gillette, Alfred and Marjorie enjoyed wintering in Naples, Florida. They made many wonderful family memories with their children, grandchildren and great grandchildren at their family camp on Lovewell Pond in Fryeburg, Maine. Alfred was known for sharing stories about his younger days growing up in Boston. He also had many family tales about his adventures with his aunt and uncle building Loghaven in New Hampshire. Alfred loved his time playing and laughing with his great grandchildren. "This is awesome!" he would say. He was a gentle soul and generous with his family. Alfred was called "Pal" by family and friends. "Pal" will be dearly missed every day.
