Surviving are his partner of 10 years, Susan Buchanan; one sister, Patty Michalsen and her husband Jim of Rockford, IL; a brother, Melvin Bluhm and his wife Cindy of Arizona; and many extended family and friends. Especially dear to Al were his three horses, Trader, Polar and Atti; beloved canine companion, Max; and two goats, Sam and Pete.
