"Al lived with his parents in Fulda, then on a farm near Avoca, until moving to Windom in 1969. His sister, Lisa, was born in 1960. Alan attended elementary school in Fulda and Slayton, and middle and high school in Windom. He graduated from Windom High School in 1977.

Following graduation, Al worked in the kitchen at Windom Area Hospital. In 1985, he became a custodian at the Home for Creative Living in Windom, also known as Habilitative Services, Inc. He loved his work and the people. Al worked 29 years with Habilitative Services, until becoming disabled in 2014. In 2018, Leo and Al moved to Faribault, to be closer to Lisa. After Leo passed away in 2021, Al moved to assisted living at the Benedictine Living Community at Northfield. Al enjoyed getting to know people and made friends wherever he went.

Alan loved animals, especially dogs. He never met a dog he didn't pet, talk to, and love. He also cheered on the Minnesota Twins, even when they weren't playing well. In 1987, he attended a World Series game with his dad, and it has always been a special memory. Al also enjoyed watching the Vikings, and had a collection of various team caps, tee shirts, and sweatshirts.

Al was an avid reader and regularly borrowed books from the libraries at Cardinal Pointe in Faribault and the Benedictine Community. He also loved to tell and be told a good joke, especially with his Grandpa Illg. Al had a strong faith and treasured a box of collected prayer cards, which he prayed regularly. He participated in Bible Study at St. Francis Xavier Church in Windom, and at the Benedictine Community. Alan loved his family and friends, and he will be dearly missed.

Mass of Christian Burial will be April 30, 2022, at the Church of St. Dominic in Northfield. Pallbearers will be Del Gaul, James Gorman, Brett Ruppert, Kerry Ruppert, Tim Ruppert and Brian Wisdorf.
