He's also survived by his step children, Christina Lewis (Rob), Catherine Smith (Mike Peyton), Christopher Smith (Jaque); step grandchildren, Hailey Adley (Kyle), Madisyn Smith, Hanna Smith (Rory), Eli Beard (Josie), Braden Beard, Issiah Smith, Dillion Smith, Aiden Smith, Emma Smith, Carson Andula, Conner Andula, Jackson Lewis and Brooklyn Lewis; 3 step great grandchildren, Kylen, MaKinley and Ava; cousins, Alice and Donnie Wiedner and Cheryl and Eddie Furlong.

A.J. retired in May, 2007 from Ford Motor Company. He worked on the assembly line and in his younger years he worked for Rumble Trash Service. He was also a head bouncer for many years for the former General's Inn. After retirement, he and Mary retired to the Ozark's. He loved 4 wheeling, fishing, boating, vacationing and running around his neighborhood on his side by side. 

He will be missed so much but now there is no more pain, no sorrow, just the peace in the valley and streets of gold.

The family requests you dress comfortably while celebrating the life of A.J. just as he would have wanted.
