He skied, snowshoed, and ran races when younger, including a marathon. He enjoyed fishing, whether it was the streams in Vernon County or fishing for salmon in Lake Michigan. He loved the Packers and proudly displayed his one share of Packers "stock". He will be missed by all who knew him.

As a fraternity brother with the Sig Ep's at Stout, we will miss Al. His quick wit and memory for details would keep us going strong. His athletic prowess lead us to numerous wins on campus. Rest in Peace, Brother.

I knew Al from when I worked at Jockey many years ago, and we played together on the Jockey co-ed softball team. I remember him as friendly, kind, funny, and hardworking. My condolences to Al's family and friends.

Al was a very important part of the "Jockey Family" for many years and many, many nights out with his Jockey friends. He loved to laugh and be involved with events together. We are shocked and saddened to lose such a dear friend and co-worker. His memory lives on. God bless you Al. You will be dearly missed.
