After that, he worked 33 years as an employee of Mirro Aluminum Company in Two Rivers, where he was active as an officer in the labor union of that company for a number of years. He retired in 1971 at age 62. Alphonse was a family man and was always very involved in doing fun activities with his children and spouse. He possessed a love of nature and the outdoors, enjoying fishing and hiking for most of his life. Al was also an avid gardener and an excellent handyman around the house. He liked to read and loved music and polka dancing when he was able. Upon retirement, he pursued his artistic talent by delving into woodcarving, string art and stained glass. He enjoyed taking yearly trips to Florida with his family during his later years before his illness. He was a member of St. Luke Catholic Church.
