 Al ‘s passions included working on cars, watching sports (especially Cleveland Guardians and Browns, Colorado Rockies, Denver Nuggets and Broncos), ballroom dancing (long-time dance partner, Helen Weingarten (deceased), bowling, and was a ferocious listener and collector of jazz music. He was an active member of the WMWAs, Denver Jazz Club, Elks, American Legion, and Knights of Columbus. Al had been a truck driver (Teamster) for many years and ended his work life as a bus mechanic for Mapleton Public Schools. Al served in the Air Force and was stationed at Lowry Air Force Base where he met Jeanine. He was then transferred to Fairbanks, Alaska, where he sent for Jeanine and they were married. After being honorably discharged, Al and Jeanine moved to Denver and later to Northglenn (1964) where they raised their family. 

The family will have a reception at the American Legion Hall, 11081 Irma Drive, Northglenn. A private burial at Fort Logan will be held at a later date.
