Al served his country in the US Army from 1950-1951. Al joined the Masonic Lodge in 1970 which was his passion where he held many positions and earned several awards. Al loved to volunteer and cook for the lodge, including his enchiladas and salsa, and his favorite ice cream and cantaloupe social, which he loved so much.
Al loved talking to everyone he met and loved telling jokes to his friends and family. He enjoyed watching them laugh. Al’s wish was to attend a 49er’s football game which he was able to go to, and received the VIP treatment as he stated.
