He attended the Galva Community School and completed his high school education there. He and Jyl Miller were married on October 21, 1988. He passed away January 9, 2018 after a short illness.

After Al graduated from Galva High School he attended the University of Iowa where he received a BS degree in chemistry. He then went on to attend the University of North Dakota as graduate student. During this time his career path changed as he started working as a Systems Programmer at Centel Corporation and later worked for the State of Nebraska until his retirement.

Al was a good man, a plain and simple man, who will be missed by all that knew him. He was a man of few words, but when he chose to speak, it was worth listening to what he had to say. Al was a past member of the Aksarben Curling Club, Izaak Walton League, and Men's Senior Golf League. He enjoyed being a host parent for the Lincoln Stars for 5 years.

Family members cherishing his memory include his wife Jyl; sister Karen (Carroll) Perkins Jefferson, IA; brothers Gerald Voge Cherokee, IA, Pat (Anne) Voge Iowa Falls, IA, Paul (Lois) Voge Galva, IA; sisters-in-law Cindy Els, Peg (Gary) Bernard, Becky Brown all of Benkelman, NE; a host of nieces and nephews, many extended family members including the Bryan Lundbohm Family of Roseau, MN.

He will be missed by his many friends.
