He also loved polka dancing which is where he met the love of his life Lorene, to whom he was married for 42 years. They traveled all over Texas, New Jersey and even Polka cruises just to enjoy that Polka music. Al even danced at his granddaughter’s wedding a few months ago. Al made many stained glass pieces which are proudly hung in his home. He loved his dogs and had many stories about all of them. Al never ate a McDonald’s hamburger!
