Al enjoyed the outdoors, hunting, camping and fishing; he also enjoyed working in his shop, Al was a true handyman and loved spending time in his shop. He was a very hard worker but he really looked forward to his Wednesday and Saturday evenings in the milkhouse for the ‘men’s club’. Al truly did enjoy life to the fullest, sharing stories and drinks with his quick-witted humour that had family and friends laughing. With a cigar in hand, you were always treated to his songs passed down from one generation to the next, playing the spoons and guitar with Al in the lead.
