He was past President of the Sacramento 20/30 Club No. 1 and past President of the California Laundry and Dry Cleaning Association. He also served on the California Governor's Business Advisory Board. Al was known for his sense of humor and quick wit. He was a kind person and taught his children to respect hard work and above all to respect those who are not as fortunate as you. He was an avid skier, fly fisherman, duck hunter (H-Pond and Bull Sprig Outing) and golfer. He was an enthusiastic sports fan and enjoyed playing cards with his closest friends. He was a thick and thin fan of the San Francisco 49ers, SF Giants and Sacramento Kings. Al and his wife Barbara enjoyed enduring friendships from their early years in Sacramento and El Macero where they moved to in 1966 and belonged to the Country Club for over 25 years. Al was also a devoted member of AA for over 20 years, which allowed many more meaningful friendships and a longer and fuller life.
