Summers he retreated to Nantucket where he loved to relax and entertain his family and friends.

He had a discerning eye for art and an impeccable sense of style that was reflected in every aspect of his life.

As a devoted husband, loving Dad and Grandfather, Al was a caretaker at heart. His family and the lifelong friendships he nurtured were everything to him. He was humble, compassionate, gracious, and quite simple an extraordinary man who was a role model and hero to many.
