He married his life partner, Joan Campbell on July 20th, 1957. Al and Joan spent many happy years together on numerous Air Bases across the globe. They returned to Moose Jaw, SK in August of 1976 and Al retired from the CAF in 1978. Al then worked in the Telecommunications Section at CFB Moose Jaw until June of 1995.
