Albert E. Saville

August 17, 1940 — April 19, 2022

Castleton, NY-Albert "Al" Edward Saville, 81, of Castleton passed away suddenly on Tuesday, April 19, 2022. He was born in Torrington, CT on August 17, 1940, and lived in Castleton, NY for 50 years. He was predeceased by his wife, Elizabeth “Betty”, the love of his life. He was the son of the late Angelina (Falcone) and Harold Saville. He leaves behind his special friend and companion, Frances Cripps.

Al spent a long career as a machinist, retiring from the Watervliet Arsenal.

Whether it was working (most recently at Chuck Scott Auto), playing cards with friends, volunteering, cooking, or going out to eat, Al was always on the go, always sharing a story, a joke, or some type of advice. Al was a dedicated volunteer fireman, proudly serving as a life-member of the Castleton Fire Company and as a Rensselaer County Fire Investigator. Al and Betty enjoyed boating on the Hudson River with friends from the Castleton Boat Club, RVing to Florida to visit family and friends, and camping. Al was loved and admired by his family and throughout the community.
