He was born on Sunday Feb. 19, 1961 in Gardiner, the son of Frances and Albert Cray Sr. He was raised in Richmond and attended local schools, graduating in 1979. Throughout his childhood Al played soccer, basketball and baseball and excelled in school. His passion for hard work and hard play was evident early on. He earned his first $100 at the age of 10 digging worms. Albert was so proud of being a third generation marine worm harvester. His professional pursuits eventually expanded to clam harvesting, sea urchin diving, logging and a brief stint as an electrician at Bath Iron Works. After school, he married his first love Elizabeth, bought his first home in Richmond, and raised three children. Spending time with his children, teaching them to hunt and dig was very special to him.
