He proudly served his country in the United States Army as a para-trooper and combat medical corpsman with the 101st Airborne Division during the Vietnam War. He was a recipient of the Purple Heart, Parachute Badge and Vietnam Service Medals. Al worked most of his adult life for various companies in the maritime industry on the Mississippi River. Al's greatest loves were his family, football, fine wine and supplying casinos with money to pay the electric bill. He was an avid LSU football fan. He faithfully attended all sporting and dance events in which his children and grandchildren participated. Al enjoyed coaching for St. Charles Parish recreational sports for many years and was respected and admired by the many young men whom he coached and was still revered by them to this day. He was adamant about being the first place judge for all of the swim meets at the Hill Heights Country Club. He loved congratulating the winning swimmers. For Al, any occasion was a good reason to celebrate, and he always did so whole heartily. The family would like to give special thanks for the loving and attentive care provided by family and friends, especially his daughter, Cherie' and brother-in-law, Danny; the staff of Guardian Angels Hospice: Alaza, Alleen, Yolanda, Connie, Dee and Dr. Vogel; Dr. Brian Brogle; Dr. Henry Jackson; and others who all provided Al with excellent and compassionate care.
