Mr. Al celebrated his 100th birthday with his fellow pool players who kept his party a secret from him many months. In a fitting tribute to Mr. Al, Senator Joe Bellino Jr. said “Mr. Al wore many hats, each one a testament to his versatility and work ethic. From grinding grain across Michigan to riveting planes at the Willow Run Bomber Plant, from running his own insurance agency in Ida, MI. to overseeing construction projects for Gratton Construction of Monroe, particularly intriguing tale stands out – his brief stint as a professional baseball player. Signed by the Boston Braves, Mr. Al’s passion for family triumphed over his love for the game, leading him back home to his beloved Wilma and sons. In his leisure, Mr. Al found joy in the camaraderie of the Frenchtown Center for Active Adults, where he became a fixture in the men’s pool leagues.”
In addition to the Special Tribute from Senator Bellino, Mr. Al also received a Special Tribute from State Representative James DeSana. Frenchtown Charter Township Supervisor Al VanWashenova was present to also pay tribute to Mr. Al. Thanks to the pool league for sponsoring this milestone for Mr. Al, his son Gary, other family members, friends and of course his fellow pool players for attending.
