      After retirement he enjoyed crossword puzzles, dancing, music and karaoke. He continued to keep in touch with his many out of state friends and family, and assisted older clients with their real estate needs. Al was a fellow who never met a stranger.

      Al was preceded in death by his father, Seth O. Whiting, his mother Myrtle Willey Whiting and 2 sons Alton Jr., and Norman.
