GREENE – Allen R. Stasulis, 74, of Greene, passed away on July 6, 2021 from a sudden illness. He was born July 19, 1946 in Lewiston to Alexander and Yvette Stasulis.

A life-time scholar, Al began his education at Lewiston High School, followed by an undergraduate at Bentley College, a master’s from Brown University and concluded his education at the Executive Development School at UMass Amherst. Al was a proud Vietnam veteran, a Sergeant in the U.S. Army’s 101 Airborne, and was awarded a Bronze Star and two Purple Hearts as recognition of his service.

Al met the love of his life, Maureen, in Auburn, June 1971. They married on April 21, 1972, celebrating 49 years together this year. After briefly living in Lewiston, Al and Maureen set down roots in Greene.

Al was vice president of Mid-Maine Savings Bank for 24 years, followed by employment at Pamco Shoe Machinery, Champoux Insurance and the State of Maine. He was most proud of his work with disabled veterans in Maine, working with state and federal job councilors at the Togus VA hospital, the Lewiston Vet Center and the South Paris Career Center.

Throughout the years, Al served many local and national organizations. Professionally, he served as president of the American Institute of Banking and the L-A Rotary and as a board member of the National Association of Accountants, and the L-A Chamber of Commerce. He was the president of the Bentley Alumni Association, and served on the board with the United Way, Martindale Country Club, St Francis Mission and St. Mary’s Hospital.

Al had many passions in life. In the summer, weekends were filled with early morning rounds at Martindale Country Club, family boat rides along the Maine coast, walking at Pine Point, enjoying the July 4th parade in Bar Harbor, gardening in his backyard, searching for Maine’s best clam chowder and his beloved day trips with this wife Maureen and daughter Ashley. In the winter, ice fishing was squeezed in between his son’s hockey games. Al was a passionate hockey Dad, and got as much joy watching his daughter Ashley participate in the Special Olympics. He was a true New England sports fan, tuning into the Bruins, Patriots and Red Sox time allowed.

Always a thoughtful and generous person, Al helped others in any way that he could, and looked for the best in people. He was a devoted husband, loving father, caring friend and taught his children that hard work always paid off. He also taught them the answer to the question “Where are we going?” is almost always “That’s for me to know and you to find out”.

Al is survived by his wife, Maureen Stasulis; son, Christopher Stasulis, grandson, Ryan, of Greene; son and daughter-in-law, Dr. Craig and Jessie Stasulis, grandsons, Henry, Allen and William, of West Hartford, Conn.; son Nicholas Stasulis, and his favorite granddaughter, Harper of Winthrop, and Harper’s mother, Jessica Stasulis, of Augusta; and his favorite daughter, Ashley Stasulis, of Lewiston. The oldest of 13 children, Al is also survived by his sisters, Gail, Janice, and Linda, his brothers, Eugene, James, Alexander, Michael and Lawrence.

He was predeceased by his brothers Stephen, Daniel, Robert and John.

Arrangements are under the direction of The Fortin Group Funeral Home, 70 Horton St., Lewiston http://www.thefortingroup.com. A committal will be held July 27, 10 a.m., at Maine Veterans Cemetery in Augusta.
