     Al loved his family, especially the grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He loved people and had a special way of making them laugh. He was always able to make a stranger feel like a friend.  Some of his favorite past times included fishing, watching sports, and playing cards with family and friends. He also enjoyed working in his yard and garage, riding his golf cart in the woods, and spending time up north.

     He is survived by his wife Juanita; and three children: Peter (Lori) Trujillo of Niles, MI; Rachel (Ruben) Chavez of Lansing, MI; and Linda (Patrick) Lanczynski of Bannister, MI.  He is also survived by eight grandchildren: Shalynne Trujillo, Gabriel (Toni) Trujillo, Ruben "Alan" (Maranda) Chavez, Haileigh (James) Gagliardo, Anthony (Ollie Maxa) Chavez, Cody (Makayla Dann) Lanczynski, Kianna (Josh Peterson) Trujillo, and Samantha (Austin Coty) Lanczynski; nine great-grandchildren: Hayden, Marceline, Caleb, Liam, Ruben "Miles", Riley, Lacey, Colson, and Brant; a sister Dolores Flores and many nieces and nephews.
