He graduated from Alvarado High School in 1948 and attended mechanical trade school in Fargo before enlisting in the US Army in 1952. After a bout with rheumatic fever, Al was honorably discharged and returned home in 1953 to farm.
Though he was overjoyed to be farming again, Al’s true joy was found shortly after returning home, when he met Eva Kliner.

The two owned the Friendly Tavern for a number of years and Al was an active parishioner of St. Joseph Catholic Church in Oslo. After Eva and he moved to Warren in 2013, Al became a member of Sts. Peter & Paul.
He is survived by his sons, Randy (Kathy) of Alvarado, MN, Gary of Richland, WA, Rick (Lorraine) of San Diego, CA, and Troy (Linda) of East Grand Forks, MN; twelve grandchildren; and twenty-five great-grandchildren.
