Al spent 40 years working in the furniture industry specializing in purchasing, designing, and merchandising. His passion for his work shined through his interactions with his clients. One of Al's favorite aspects of the business was traveling to furniture shows to network with other professionals and stay up-to-date on the latest industry trends.
Al enjoyed working outside and landscaping around his home. He also loved listening to many genres of music. Some of his favorite artists were Frank Sinatra, Perry Como, Josh Groban, Il Divo, Eric Clapton, and Jimmy Buffet. Al played baseball through college and went on to coach a youth baseball team. He was an avid sports fan and enjoyed cheering for all Penn State sports, the Philadelphia Eagles, the Philadelphia Phillies, and the Boston Celtics.
Most of all, Al loved spending time with his family and passed down the importance of family traditions. He treasured every moment with his grandchildren. He always looked forward to family vacations to the Jersey Shore and visiting with his sisters and brother. He hosted many family dinners, especially his traditional seven fishes Christmas Eve dinner. Al welcomed anyone into his home as if they were family.
