Al was an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed hunting, trapping, and ice fishing. He enjoyed John Deere tractors, gardening and especially living and working on his farm. Al had a unique talent for crafting spears, chisels, ice tongs and decoys.
Al is survived by his children, Sharon (Stephen) Torborg of Luxemburg, Carol (David) Klein of Kimball, David (Sharon) of Merrifeld, Lorin (Jenny) of Clear Lake, and Mark (Jamie Ruhland) of Becker; 15 grandchildren; seven great grandchildren; sister, Sally Smoley of St. Cloud; brothers, Clarence of Kimball and Ray of St. Cloud.
