Al loved going up north to his cabin in Atlanta, MI, where he spent many years deer hunting in the northern woods. He was very particular about his lawn, and always made sure it was done right or he'd let you know about it. Al also very meticulous about his red Ford truck. In his free time, you could find him relaxing back with a Bud Light in his hand enjoying his time spent with family and friends. He will be deeply missed and cherished in the hearts of his loved ones.
