Alfred William Schenkelberg was born June 13, 1919, at Halbur, Iowa, the son of William and Frances (McGrane) Schenkelberg. Al grew up and attended elementary school in Halbur and graduated from high school at Carroll High School. He married Virginia Snyder on Sept. 6, 1942, in Carmel, Calif., just prior to going overseas, during World War II. Al served with the U.S. Army and was stationed overseas in India, with the China-Burma-India Theatre. He was a Personnel Officer with the 20th General Hospital. Following the War, he returned home and the couple lived for several years in Carroll, before moving to Le Mars in 1959. Al was a John Deere dealer in Le Mars for many years.

He was also a member of the American Legion, Wasmer Post 241 in Le Mars and a member of the World War II Last Man's Club. Al was a people person, always enjoying good conversation, a good story, or even better, a good joke. The welcoming smile, and twinkle in his eye made him a friend to those who crossed his path. In earlier days, he enjoyed golfing, fishing, hunting, and camping with his family. For many years, Al and Virginia enjoyed wintering in Mesa, Ariz. Recently he continued to enjoy having coffee with his friends, and playing cards, especially with the Holy Thursday group. Al enjoyed visits at home from his many friends, and from his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren; each generation finding out what it meant to have your plow cleaned.
