Al spent his life living it to the fullest and taking care of his Family. He worked hard for many years to provide a great life for his wife and children.  He was an animal lover and raised dogs his whole life, took care of the neighborhood cats, and loved feeding the spudzys (Birds).  He loved watching the Pittsburgh Steelers, talking about past memories, listening to good music, and spending time with his children and grandchildren.  He enjoyed most of all Hunting, fishing, and drinking Molson Golden at his favorite place "The Cottage". He spent many wonderful times there with his family making beautiful everylasting memories that will be cherished forever.

Al was blessed to live a long life full of many things, whether they were good or bad, he was always thanful for everything God provided for him. He will be dearly missed by all who knew him, but especially his Wife, children, and grandchildren.

There will be no service for Al; he did not want that.  The family will be having a dinner sometime after the new year and will provide details at a later date.

If you wish to honor Al on your own get yourself a nice cold beer or a shot of good burbon and Listen to Billy Currington's "People are Crazy" it was his favroite song.
