After he retired from Amherst, he moved to Cape May Courthouse, to a house he had built on ancestral property that had been in the family for 300 years. A house built in 1854 on another portion of property is now a bed-and-breakfast called Doctors Inn, due to the many PhDs and MDs in the family. Al married Frances Wright in 1937.

There he was a very active community worker. Some activities in which he participated were wood sculpture — a number of his pieces are on display in John Knox Village; music — he organized small groups to play for special occasions, and he played the recorder and the ukelele; and poetry — he wrote a number of poems and organized poetry reading and writing groups. He gave generously to the public school system. He secretly helped less fortunate residents pay their dues or rent. Besides his wife, he is survived by a niece, Denice W.
