Albert Charles Ulmer - Essex, NY - Albert Charles Ulmer passed away
peacefully on April 13, 2014, at his home in Essex, N.Y. He was born on
Oct. 13, 1938, in Binghamton, N.Y., to Blythe Marion and Albert Ulmer. He
received his B.S. and M.S. degrees from Florida State University where he
played as a guard and a linebacker and was the captain of the FSU football
team. A conscientious objector, he joined the Peace Corps in 1961 and
taught high school in Inugu, Nigeria, for two years. In Nigeria, he met
Robin Limpus, and they married in 1965. After the Peace Corps, Al bicycled
across Europe, volunteered on a kibbutz, and then returned to the States to
work in the Civil Rights Movement as an Eleanor Roosevelt Fellow at the
Southern Regional Council in Atlanta, Ga. He also served as acting director
for the Federation of Southern Cooperatives where he developed farm and
alternative energy programs. In the late 1960s, he and Robin moved to
Boone, N.C., built a log and stone home (for less than $1,000) and farmed.
"For two people tired of cities, racism, and war news, the beauty of the
mountains offered special refreshment. It was so very good to get away from
it all; the daily barrage of statistics detailing the wheres and hows of
death but never the whys, and the withering effect race hatred has on
everything it touches, especially love and reason. But one doesn't escape
from such things easily," Al wrote at the time. He was a beautiful writer,
publishing his work in Will Campbell's "Katallagete" literary journal. In
1972, after the death of their first child, Laurel, Al and Robin left North
Carolina. They eventually settled in Williston, Vt., where Al, after
constructing his second home, built his career as a stone mason, and
quickly became a sought after craftsman and artist. Al was a politically
passionate anti-war activist (protesting the wars in Vietnam, Iraq and
Afghanistan) and an avid athlete (every Sunday for years he played soccer
with a group of Williston families; he also played basketball, tennis,
paddleball, and cross-country skied). Having enjoyed bicycling across
Europe as a young man, he went back and bicycled 3,000 miles across Greece
with Robin and his daughter, Spring, in 1980. In 1989, after having fought
the malls and planned development of Williston, Al and Robin resettled in
rural Essex, N.Y. There, Al built another stone house, and later purchased
and worked a small stone quarry in the hamlet of Essex together with his
friend and stone masonry partner, Terry Dinnan. Aside from his stonework,
Al was loved for his wit, his fanciful stone sculptures, and his word play.
He won at most games - anything from tennis to Scrabble - that he played
with friends and family. He liked winning. He invented tools, built bread
ovens, and was a particularly original thinker and read widely. Al lived
with multiple myeloma, a rare leukemia, for seven-and-a-half years. He
worked as a mason and cut his own wood throughout much of this time. Last
summer, when he could barely walk due to complications from cancer and
chemotherapy, he and Robin built a greenhouse, and he took delight in
growing flowers, especially cardinal creepers. He is survived by Robin,
Spring, and his sister, Ann Turner of Clearwater, Fla., and her family.
