As a child he would often ride his bike to Ebbett’s Field to watch the team he loved. Al also had a love for all animals, big and small, and was devoted to his pets. Al is survived by his wife Arlene, his daughters, Patricia and Kathleen, sons-in-laws, Robert and Nicholas, and grandchildren, Noah, Zachary, Nicholas, and Michael.
