Elefterious Albert Schurman, Sr. of Fairfield, CT, died on Wednesday, January 22, 2020 at home under the care of Hospice, and on his own terms. He decided one week previous that he no longer wanted to fight the cancer he had endured for 29 months, during which time he continued with work projects while caring for his wife Ellie, in her own struggle with Alzheimer’s Disease.
Al was born December 8, 1936 in Bridgeport, CT, the son of Henry J. Schurman and Ann Zaffis Schurman. As an active Boy Scout he earned the rank of Eagle Scout, of which he was very proud. He was a graduate of Bullard Havens Technical School, specializing in Auto Mechanics. He grew up in the Greens Farms section of Westport, moving to Fairfield in 1964.
Al was self-employed in a number of businesses. He owned Albie’s Chevron in Southport, CT. He and Ellie owned and operated a Carvel Ice Cream franchise on the Post Rd. in Westport. Later Ellie took over operation of the Carvel business when Al bought a tractor and trailer and began E.A.
