Albert Willis Moulton III

Albert Willis Moulton III, of Kennebunkport, passed away peacefully Jan. 6, 2012, with his family at his side at Gosnell Memorial Hospice House in Scarborough.

He was born the son of the late Dr. Albert Willis and Elizabeth Langley Moulton in Alexandria, La., on March 9, 1943.

He graduated from Portland High School class of 1961. He attended Bowdoin College, Susquehanna University and graduated from Boston University College of Engineering in 1966 and later attended University of Rochester masters program.

Moulton was a member of the high school swim team and Zeta Psi Fraternity. He raced his dragster, Bollweavil, at the Sanford Airstrip achieving 125 mph in the shortest time for a quarter-mile in 1961.

He was an entrepreneur at an early age starting his snow plowing business with his 1946 Willys Jeep during high school. 

His career was always in the computer/technical field, including Xerox, Sanders, Raytheon, Applicon, Schlumberger, Skok Systems and ultimately CADworks. After much success at CADworks he purchased the company and sold it to Graphisoft HU before retiring in 2003 to Kennebunkport.

Before moving to Maine, Al and Jean lived in Boston, Rochester, N.Y., Nashua, N.H., and Medfield, Mass., for 30 years. Throughout his life, he always enjoyed construction projects: designing and building a new kitchen and garage in their antique home in Medfield; building sheds, decks and docks at their camp on Sebago Lake and helping their children and friends with their projects. He had a passion for his chainsaw and was nicknamed “Buzz” by his friends.

Being on the water and in his boat was his favorite place, spending endless hours teaching their children, their friends and neighbors how to water ski.

His most memorable times at the lake and at camp were when it was full with family and friends. He also enjoyed the family home Black Rock at Ferry Beach in Scarborough and spent his summers there as a child helping his dad do many projects.
