They later moved to Lebanon, Maine in 1987 where he was employed by Godin Brothers & Associates as a sheet-rocker and later a maintenance mechanic for St. Elizabeth School in Rochester N.H. Allyre or "big Al" as some might call him was an avid Red Sox fan who also enjoyed going to his grandchildren's sports games as much as possible. The times he loved most were spent with his grandchildren whom he adored, whether it be camping in the backyard, playing whiffle ball or just simply hanging out together would be okay too. He also loved to be the life of the party, telling jokes and making people laugh with his funny gestures. His love of dancing with his wife would always turn heads on the dance floor with amazement.
