Al was born on October 1, 1915 to Andrew and Blanche (Emal) Petersen on a farm in Garfield County, Nebraska. Al was one of nine children born to this family. Al attended elementary school at Ash Grove Grade School, north of Bloomington, Nebraska, graduated from Bloomington High School in Bloomington, Nebraska in 1934, and attended the University of Nebraska at Lincoln. On November 11, 1937, Al married his childhood sweetheart and the love of his life, Luella Folkers, at Franklin, Nebraska. This union was blessed with the birth of five children, Barbara, Linda, Gary, Jean, and Dale. Al was baptized and professed his faith to become a member of the Franklin Methodist Church on Palm Sunday, April 2, 1944 under the guidance of Rev. Merrill R. Willis. The family made their home in Lincoln, Nebraska, where Al worked for the Nebraska Highway Department for 10 years. They later moved to LaMoille, Illinois, where Al farmed for 15 years, before returning to Franklin, Nebraska, where Al worked with Blank Motor Company for 12 years and as Franklin County Roads Supervisor for 17 years. Due to failing eyesight and failing health, Al and Luella moved from their own home to the Golden Living Community in July 2002. Al was an active member of the Franklin Community for many years, serving on the Board of Directors of Golden Age Village, and a member of Franklin First United Methodist Church. Within the church, Al was active in the United Methodist Men, Sunday School Superintendent, and served on the Board of Trustees and Memorial Committee. Al enjoyed woodworking, traveling, and camping, but the true passion of his life was his wife and his family.
