He received his bachelor’s degree in finance, accounting and financial management from the University of South Alabama in 1986. His academic achievements enabled him to be posted on the University of South Alabama Alumni Wall of Honor. Al was also a very accomplished golfer playing for the University of South Alabama golf team and participating in many local golf tournaments. He was a big sports fan pulling for the Atlanta Braves, Dallas Cowboys, Texas A&M Aggies (Gig’em!) and the South Alabama Jaguars. There was not much Al did not know about these teams, and he enjoyed speaking with family members and friends about upcoming games, stats and divisional standings.

Al started his career with Delchamps Inc. in Mobile, Alabama. In 1993, after 12 years of managerial and retail experience at Delchamps, Al relocated to Atlanta, Georgia to begin his career in financial analysis working with companies such as Per-Se Technologies Inc., LOR Inc, and Nationwide Credit Inc.

Al was a very self-less and giving person. He regularly attended church at Corpus Christi Catholic Church in Mobile, coming often to say the rosary and light candles for his family and people he cared about. He would never pass by a person in need without helping them. When his father passed away in 2015, Al became the primary care giver for his mother, Ethelyn, for a period of 10 years up until his passing. He was a devoted son and was always there to help and support his parents. He loved his brother Mark Rainosek and his brother’s family, who reside in Greensboro, North Carolina. He would visit them every Christmas to celebrate the holidays.
