Albert Rein Obituary
Al was born 14 Feb, 1932 in Kenmore NY. He joined the Army out of High School and was a Field Artillery and Intelligence Specialist, stationed in Munich Germany and Fort Ord, California. In June of 1957, Sergeant First Class (E-7) Rein became a Special Weapons Expert and participated in the Atomic Weapons Test of a 37 kiloton nuclear device code-named Priscilla on the Nevada test range.
In 1959, after surviving the nuclear test and 7 years of Army life, Al decided to venture north to Alaska, settling in Fairbanks. He apprenticed under Clark Ingram learning heavy equipment operations eventually joining local Union #302 Operating Engineers. This was Al's springboard to over 30 years working on the Trans-Alaska Pipeline both as a contractor and PCM for Alyeska Pipeline.
Al's true passions in life were Golfing, Hunting, Fishing, Photography, and traveling to Hawaii and Mexico with Al Bowler and friends.
There will be a Celebration of Life at Moose Run Golf Course chalet on Saturday, 25 January from 3:00 - 5:00pm. Please bring your favorite story to share about Al.

Al was a ray of sunshine to myself and coworkers. We loved his presence and positive attitude even when in pain. He is truly missed but happy he is with our Heavenly Father and pain free. Don't forget to put the ice cubes in your tequila ❤

Our friend Al. Susan and I will miss you at our table. We shared so many good times. Hunting in Paxon, cigars and Scotch in Mexico, playing rounds of golf, and just sharing time together breaking bread. The world has lost a generous, kind, and joyful soul. We raise our glass to you good friend. We know you are at the 19th hole toasting back.

I flew Al around the pipeline at PS5 for a number of years. I always enjoyed being around him. He was a nice person and I am sorry he has passed.
