In those years, he also worked with Backus Cabinets and Irwin Builders. Al loved camping and boating with his friends and family. He enjoyed playing cards with his family during Sunday dinners. He was an avid Pittsburgh sports fan, especially the Pirates. He loved to bowl and enjoyed dinners out and margaritas on Tuesday nights with friends. He loved to garden and enjoyed his backyard retreat, which was complete with a waterfall and a stocked fish pond. Two turtle doves, named A and B after his parents, have graced the garden since it's inception. Al loved being with his family and neighbors, but especially loved spending time with his wife, Karen, whom he adored. Al was a long time member of the Holiday Park United Methodist Church in Plum where he and his wife, Karen, loved to cook and serve.
