Al proudly served in the U.S. Navy in the Phillipines from 1957 to 1958 as well as time with the Navy reserve. Al was a tile setter and homebuilder leaving his handiwork throughout Texas and California. A few of the sites he worked include the UT dorms, Dobie Mall and the Johnson Library. He contracted and built numerous homes in the Georgetown area. He retired in Bastrop where he enjoyed working on his land with his feral cat, French Fry. He entertained his grandchildren with fishing and learning about the outdoors.
Al is survived by his five children: James, Thomas (Marilyn), Carole (Abraham Salamah), Don (Marianne), Cheryl (Peter van den Pol), and was preceded in death by his third son Alphonsus, Jr. He will be greatly missed by his grandchildren: Whitney, Dillon, Brian, Annie, Natalie, Danny and Sara.
Interment will follow at St. Mary's Catholic Cemetery.
Al is also survived by six of his twelve siblings: his brothers Bill, Tommy, Marvin and Leroy and his sisters Eleanor and Patricia.
