Al began his long career in the auto body repair business after returning from Korea, and worked in Flushing with his sons. In 1990 he and Eve moved to Copake Falls with his son Scott and daughter-in-law, Christine, where they opened Davis Auto Body. Al always took great pride in his work and enjoyed knowing his customers.

Al and Eve were passionate about horses and were owners of riding horses and rode on Long Island up until their move to Copake Falls, where they continued to ride and enjoy many local trails. Always, Al has been involved in the auto racing circuit and for the past 35 years was always at his son's, Scott, side at the track. In their most recent years together, Al and Eve would be seen at local ballroom events, dancing and making new friends. Together in their retired years they enjoyed railroading to various U.S.A. destinations and taking cruises.
Al was always surrounded by his family and friends and will be missed and dearly remembered by all who knew him.
