A veteran of the United States Air Force, Al honorably served his country for 10 years, exemplifying values of dedication, duty, and integrity that carried through every chapter of his life. Following his military service, he spent several years working for the Hood Milk Company before following his entrepreneurial spirit. Together with his late brother-in-law, Bob Mastin, he co-founded A&B Cleaning Service. Through years of hard work, reliability, and commitment to providing service of the highest quality, they built A&B Cleaning Service into one of the most respected commercial cleaning companies across Southern, NH and the Merrimack valley.

Beyond his professional accomplishments, Al will be remembered for his steadfast presence, strong work ethic, and deep devotion to his family and community. His legacy of service, loyalty, and hard work lives on in the many lives he touched. Throughout his life, Al lived by a steadfast code: family always came first, closely followed by an unwavering, tireless work ethic. He poured his heart into providing for hose he loved, demonstrating every day what it meant to lead with integrity, responsibility, and devotion. Al was truly a fun-loving guy at heart. He possessed an easygoing charm and a great sensor of humor that made every gathering brighter. An avid golfer, he spent many happy hours on the fairways and thoroughly enjoyed his many trips to sporting events with his good friends.
