He attended South High School until 1946 where he then enlisted in the U.S. Navy. He was honorably discharged in 1947. He then enlisted in the Marine Corps Reserve (1950-1952). He married his high school sweetheart, Jennie Lou Lerch on February 1, 1946. After returning to Denver, Al went on to become a Denver Fireman, where he retired as a Captain after 28 years of service. Al was a true Colorado native where in his youth he spent time at the family cabin near Evergreen. Later he worked for the U.S. Forest Service.

His hobbies included reading and studying Colorado and Native American history, oil painting, woodworking and listening to western music. He was a loyal Denver Bronco fan and also enjoyed watching golf, the Colorado Avalanche and the Rockies. You never saw Al without his Rockies baseball hat. Al was a lifelong member of the Episcopal Church, serving on the vestry at Trinity Episcopal Church in Greeley. He was a Freemason 32nd Degree. He was most proud of his family and 60 year marriage to the love of his life Jennie Lou. Al was a true gentleman and friend to all who knew him.
