Al was born in San Francisco, CA and was raised in Sacramento, CA. As a young man, he began work at McKesson Drug as a stock and delivery boy. It is there that he met his wife Marian. He joined the Navy during World War II and was part of the Guadalcanal operation aboard the USS President Hayes. He served as a medic and took part in the landing of US Marines for the first offensive act of WWII.

He and Marian were married in 1946 and Al returned to McKesson where he had a successful career in sales and management. He retired in 1986 as Western Region Senior Vice President and continued to consult in sales for many years after.

Al enjoyed fishing, the odd game of golf, family and travel. He and Marian had many lovely trips to locations around the world. He always had a story to tell and continued to have a keen business mind until his most recent illness.
