He moved to Atlanta where he attended Georgia tech until he was accepted to the Air Force Academy, from which he graduated in 1962. While stationed in Alabama, he received his Masters Degree at the University of Alabama, “yeah Alabama Crimson Tide!”-he loved to wager a bottle of bourbon with his Auburn friends.

Al served in the U.S. Air Force for 28 years. He received numerous medals and honors. His favorite time during his service to our country was being a F-4 fighter pilot.

After living around the world, Al retired in Mary Ester, Florida where he lived 32 years. He spent his last 5 years in Natchitoches, Louisiana.
