Albert French
AGE: 88 •
Signal Mountain, Tenn.
Albert "Al" French, 88, of Signal Mountain, Tenn., passed away on Monday, Jan. 28, 2013, at home with his loving family by his side. Al was a loving husband, uncle, and brother-in-law. He also loved his dogs. A great athlete, he loved playing tennis and was an avid runner, having run in many road races. He could beat anyone at the daily crossword puzzle and felt that exercising your mind was as important as exercising your body. A veteran of the Army, Al was a member of the 1st Cavalry Division, 12th regiment. He was a former member of the American Legion, the VFW and the Elks.
He was preceded in death by his parents. Mr. French is survived by his wife of 30 years, Ruth French.
A celebration of his life will be held sometime in the spring in Sea Girt. Arrangements are by Hamilton Funeral Home & Cremation Services, 4506 Hixson Pike, Hixson, TN 37343.

I didn't realize Al was an avid crossword fan! We knew how much he loved football and his dogs! The few times spent with Al were full of laughter. Al and Ruth were so lucky to have found each other and enjoy the 30 years (wow!) together. Al's was fortunate to have Ruth for a devoted and loving wife. We'll miss you Al and always remember your kindness! Rest in peace...
