Al was born to Orville "Bud" and Mary Margaret Lampe in St. Louis, MO. He attended Holy Innocents Catholic Grade School, Bishop DuBourg High School, and Benedictine College in Atchison, KS. Al met Monica at Benedictine, and they were married in St. Agnes Catholic Church in Kansas City, KS in August 1979. They settled in St. Louis in Epiphany of Our Lord Catholic parish. He worked for Barnes Jewish Hospital in the Blood Bank for over 43 years.

Al enjoyed sports and the outdoors. He was on the cross country team in college. Because he loved to run, he and his family frequently participated in road races. He inspired the kids to run cross country and track in high school. Some also ran in college and some continue to run today. Al and Monica enjoyed going to the children's sports events and St. Louis Cardinals games. He was an avid fisherman since a young age and would often fish at rivers and lakes. Whenever he took the family with him, he was happy when at least one person caught a fish, no matter the size.

He was an enthusiastic gardener who liked to landscape his yard to include flowers, fruits, vegetables and sometimes herbs. Every year, he would plant marigolds, salvia and begonias in the flower beds in front of the porch. He loved to add features such as ponds, lilac bushes, roses and spring bulbs.
