GILEAD – Alan Richard Toutant, 58, of Gilead passed away on Tuesday, Sept. 30, 2025, at the Andwell Hospice House in Auburn, Maine, after a short battle with pancreatic cancer. Al was born in Putnam, Conn. on Nov. 20, 1966.

He has worked as a machinist and a mechanic, and owned his own automatic transmission repair shop. Al had a passion for riding motorcycles, skiing, hiking, and playing with his cats.
