In addition to these accolades, he continues to hold the record for most points scored (47) in a Virginia High School State tournament game. In 1986, he was inducted into the Catawba College Sports Hall of Fame for his outstanding achievements in both basketball and track. At Catawba, he received a bachelor of arts in education. He began his teaching career at Franklin County High School in Rocky Mount, Va., in 1964 where his continued love of athletics led him to become Head Coach of their varsity basketball team. After eight years and many championship teams, he was recruited in 1972 to teach at Northside High School in Roanoke, Va., where he continued his coaching career in both basketball and golf. At Northside, he led both teams to many regional and state championships during his eight-year tenure. Throughout his 32 years as an educator and coach, he was well-loved and respected by students, players, and colleagues alike. In his spare time from teaching and coaching, Al enjoyed playing Fast-Pitch softball and golf. Just as he excelled in his other team sports, Al was recognized as a champion Fast-Pitch softball pitcher, famous for pitching no-hitters and so agile and quick at catching bunts that he earned the nickname "Al the Cat." Al retired from teaching in 1995 and enjoyed spending time with his family and friends and even discovered a new passion in carpentry and home remodeling, at which he also excelled., Al was a kind, gentle, fun-loving man who always saw the best in everyone and every situation. Throughout his struggle with cancer, he remained positive and upbeat, cracking jokes to lighten the mood to the very end. He has touched so many lives with his easy smiles and loving kindness, and it is certain he will be missed forever.
