Alcide Bacon

Alcide Bacon of Quincy, entered into worldly life on February 7, 1927 and entered into eternal life on March 15, 2021.  

Alcide, known as Al, adored his family and his close group of friends at the Quincy YMCA, who would meet up daily and get breakfast together for many years. He was a snowbird and enjoyed traveling to Florida in the winters with his wife.  The next ten years Al traveled with friends and family all over the world. He loved hosting family and friends at his home for the holidays and the 4th of July. He spent a lot of time at his cottage in Wareham and loved being on the water. Al was a proud United States Air Force veteran and an alumni of Northeastern University. He was a self made man who owned RDS Equipment in Boston. Al was a hard worker, very family oriented, generous, and loved life. He will be greatly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.

Devoted father of Kenneth Bacon of TX, Donald Bacon and his wife Lou of NH, Gary Bacon and his wife Patty of Quincy, Debra Martucci and her husband Dean of CA, Sharon Bennett and her husband Scott of Hull, Pamela Ryan and her husband Joe of Weymouth, John Bacon of Rockland, Paula Bacon and her husband Stan, and the late Maureen Hussey and the late Joseph Bacon.
