Thereafter, Al began a long and successful career with the accounting and consulting firm now known as Deloitte - Touché. Al served in various capacities, rising to Managing Partner of offices in Rochester and Buffalo, N.Y., Nashville and New Orleans, and retired as a Regional Partner in charge in 1989.

He held leadership positions with United Way, Rotary, the Sanibel Congregational Church of Christ and F.I.S.H. Al enjoyed life to the fullest, and his infectious smile will be remembered by everyone he met. He was most appreciative of time spent at Marble Lake (Cloyne), Ontario, Canada where he spent child-hood summers and continued his love of fishing with his children and grandchildren. Al was a loving, devoted and generous family man which extended to numerous nieces and nephews. Services will be held at the Sanibel United Congregational Church on Sunday, Jan. 21 at 2:00 P.M. A memorial service will also be held in Canandaigua later this year.
