Al was an Army veteran and he served in the Korean War. He was a die hard sports fan. He especially enjoyed watching the Kansas City Royals, Kansas City Chiefs and the KU Jayhawks. He was a member of Blessed Sacrament for many years. In his younger years he would enjoy helping with church functions and his community. Al was devoted to his family and enjoyed every minute he spent with them. He enjoyed taking the grandkids to the Wyandotte County Fair as well as feeding the ducks at Wyandotte County Lake. We will miss him dearly and always keep him in our hearts.
