His family moved to Paterson, NJ, where he graduated high school and was drafted into the U.S. Army and served stateside for two years during the Korean War. After an honorable discharge from the Army, he helped his parents build Gall’s Delicatessen in Lake Wallenpaupack, PA. In 1958, he married the love of his life, Sheila. They moved to Fayson Lakes - Kinnelon, NJ and raised their family there.

Al worked as a plant manager for US Steel/LaRoche Industries in the Agricultural Chemical Division, and retired after 40 years. Al loved Kinnelon, he served as a Councilman from 1972-1978 and on the PRBRSA from 1999-2021. He volunteered in many other areas in the community and his church. He was an avid deer hunter and fisherman until he was unable to physically do so. He enjoyed woodworking, making custom fishing poles and could fix almost anything. His love for his family was paramount. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather and friend.
