Al was born in Lancaster, KY on September 8, 1953. He was a Staff Sergeant in the United States Air Force as a Precision Measurement Technician for 9 years. The Air Force was an adventure; he traveled to Denver, CO from there to Omaha, NE. And then a remote tour to Shemya, AK and then to Alamorogordo, NM and then to Rochester, NY.
He graduated from RIT with high honors in Associate Applied Science.
He retired from Eastman Kodak after 33 years. He loved to write poetry in his younger years. He was a Webelos leader for Boy Scouts; and then in his later years he loved downloading old movies and playing Hayday and watching Jeopardy. He could generally answer every question on the show. He was an avid fan of the Buffalo Bills. He loved his dogs. Every year he took his daschunds to the The Daschunds Parade in Rochester, NY.
Al will forever be in our hearts and dearly missed.
