The League joins Seaboard FCU in extending our condolences to Alan “AJ” Johnson’s family and friends. AJ, a lifelong resident of Bucksport, served on Seaboard FCU’s Board for 27 years. During his tenure on the Board, he served in many roles including Chairman, Vice Chairman, and Secretary/Treasurer.
“AJ was a passionate and vocal advocate for credit unions and a friend to anyone who met him,” said Kyle Casburn, President & CEO at Seaboard FCU. “He cared deeply about our staff and policies that impacted our movement. He was especially delighted when the Federal Reserve finally eliminated Reg D this spring!”
AJ retired from Verso Paper in November 2011 after 44 years of dedicated service. He enjoyed golfing, gardening, fishing, hunting, and working at Shaw’s Supermarket in Ellsworth.
“In addition to being a wonderful friend to our credit union, he also was a big supporter of our Campaign for Ending Hunger,” said Casburn. “He never missed a League golf tournament or an opportunity to support this important cause. He will have a lasting impact in our hearts and in our community, and will be missed by all of us here at Seaboard.”
