Al was born in Augsburg, Germany on October 19, 1930, he was one of twelve children born to Frieda and Edward Jacker. As a young man, he emigrated to Canada and settled in Port Arthur. Al upgraded his education to become an accountant. He was employed with Green’s Plumbing until it’s closure and then as an office manager with Half-Way Motors until his retirement in 1995.
Al and Elinor’s love for the outdoors led him to try his hand at constructing a summer camp on McLeish Lake. Over 30 summers were happily spent enjoying family, sauna, swimming and canoeing. He was also a long-time member of Calvary Lutheran Church. Al enjoyed sports, particularly tennis, downhill skiing and later cross country skiing. He assisted The Dudley Vigars and crew in creating the Mount Baldy Ski area.
