When he was 12, Albert Lawrence Neveux lost his mother in an automobile crash that also sent his father and sister to the hospital.

At age 14, he became the youngest Scout in Massachusetts to attain the rank of Eagle at the time.
"He believed this man saved his life," said his daughter, Anne Knipe of Virginia Beach.

Mr. Neveux joined the Navy in 1944, when he was 30, and served in the Pacific Theater until 1946.
In 1950, Fidelity Mutual sent him to head its office in Richmond, a position he held until he was hired by Security Mutual Life Insurance Co. when he was 78. He ran the insurance business concurrently with Management Futures. In 1953, he became a chartered life underwriter. He was a founder and member of the American Chartered Life Underwriters Association.
Mr. Neveux was a member of the Association of Advanced Underwriters and chairman of the Golden Key Society of the American College of Underwriters.
He had served as a director of First Virginia Bank, Richmond Barrel and Box Co. and Covington Travel. He was founder and a director of Management Futures.
His daughter added that Mr. Neveux often championed the role of women in business and while on the board of First Virginia encouraged the bank to include women on the board and to consider more women for management roles.
He also was a member of Westover Hills United Methodist Church, was a founder of the Willow Oaks Country Club and served as president of numerous professional and civic groups.
