As a teenager in the late 80's/early 90's I spent several summers as a Junior Counselor at Lincoln Lake Baptist Youth Camp. The one thing that I remember most about "Grandpa Siegel" (as all the staffers called him) was that if we didn't have a jar of peanut butter on his table at meal time he'd get after us. :)

Glen, I served on the Lincoln Lake Camp Board with you Dad many years ago. He always made me feel like I was a friend when we would see him years later. Through Cliff & June we meet you & Judy. Sorry for your lost, but it's a time to rejoy as well, knowing that he is with the Lord and your Mother. Lew

I worked under Mr. Siegel at camp. I can not count the number of times I heard him tell the kids there they were not beavers please do not chew on the pews.
Ricky and Vicky, I know you'll miss your grandfather...but rest in this that he is with your grandmother again and most important he is with HIS Savior.
You will be in my prayers

Albert Siegel....
A man known by many names:
Big Chief
Boss
Preacher
Friend
Father
Grandpa
Today he is being called Son by his heavenly Father. He's also being called sweetheart by his bride of 68 years, Helen, fondly known as "princess".
Grandpa, thank you for taking the time to teach us well, to share your passions, your faith and your life with so many.
May we all walk in the wisdom you spoke of so freely. May we start each day with a song of praise you so often sang--"Rejoice in the Lord always, and again, I say rejoice!"
Rest in peace grandpa, rest in peace. I'll see you again!

Hi - I think the following story is somewhat representative of Al and his boys, Glen, Ralph and Jerry:
I needed a new starter in my 1973 Chevy so I took it to "Al and Sons" shop. Jerry was assigned to replace the starter. He was working at the shop during that summer as he was a teacher and could use the money. Jerry failed to place a needed shim between the starter and the housing, so consequently, when he tightned the bolts holding the starter to the housing, something broke.
The boys could not figure out how to fix it so they asked their Dad Al how to fix it. Al was semiretired and had sold the business to Glen and Ralph. Al, with a little thought and much experience, quickly figured out how to fix it.
The amazing part is not that Al figured out how to fix it, but that the boys admitted the problem and that their Dad had to fix it.
Al, not only was a good mechanic, he was a good person and raised four good boys.
Al will be missed and our sympathy goes to his family and friends.
