Albert P. LeClair, Jr. died of a heart attack on November 5, 2007 at St. Barnabas Hospital in Livingston, New Jersey.  Born in New Bedford, Massachusetts, Al prepared for Dartmouth at Phillips Exeter Academy.  He was a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity and Dragon. Al   played freshman football and lacrosse and spent his senior year at Tuck School.  After a year with  3M, he married Joyce Milliken (Vassar '53)    and joined Alcoa for a 30-year career in the aluminum industry. He then bought Adam Metal in Elizabeth, New Jersey where he worked until 1992.

    On retiring to Boca Grande, Florida , he worked part-time in real estate, went fishing and played golf.  For his community, he taught Sunday school and was a church elder. Al survived many physical problems but never seemed discouraged --a heart attack at age 39, cancer at age 60 and three joint replacements totaling eight major operations in nine years.  Al was devoted to his class and Dartmouth, serving as class agent, executive committee member and alumni interviewer. 

    He is survived by Joyce, children John, Joseph, Emily and Lisa and seven grandchildren.
