On June 30, 2001, Al married Linda Mundt in Brookings, SD. The couple made their home just south of Ortonville. Al worked for the Ortonville School District as a bus driver for many years. His passion for driving was evident as in his spare time, Al enjoyed driving race cars. When not driving, Al treasured restoring old cars and trucks as well as collecting clocks and caps. If there was still time in the day, Al made his way to the lake where he cherished his quiet time fishing.

Al also had a strong faith and served the Lord through his membership at Living Hope Fellowship Assembly of God Church in Ortonville and working amongst the inmates of area prisons in Prison Ministry.
