Al’s personality has been described as “larger than life” and what Iife he lived! Upon his graduation from McKinley High School, Al proudly served in the Marine Corps. The majority of his work life was spent as an oiler at Anheuser Busch and as business manager for Teamsters Local 769. Al retired after 36 years of service and in his retirement fulfilled his dream of owning a neighborhood bar. Al was an avid fisherman, hunter, bowler, and poker player. Al was a member of the Oakville Elks Lodge 2726 and Rollo-Calcaterra American Legion Post 15. He will be greatly missed by his wife Terry, family and friends who shared in his life.

To Terry and all the family. I am so very sorry of the passing of Al (Bossman). Al was a great guy and a great guy to work for. He cared so deeply for his wife and his family and friends. We will never forget you Al and it was our pleasure to know you for many years. RIP AL LANCASTER. We love you and we will miss you dearly. Butch and Barb Brannam or as Al would call me Butcher.
Semper Fi Devil Dog !!! From the Shit Head Kid down the street on the Go Cart. That made it through Marine Boot Camp.
Al will be missed by everyone whose life he touched and there are many.
Al was a great friend and a hell of a card player. God Bless Pal
Al was a tough guy with a heart of gold.. He was liked and respected by all who knew him. Thursdays will never be the same.
Big Al was always positive ! And always greeted me with a Smile ! He had great stories ! About the service and the brewery and life !
It’s hard to believe he left us so quick !
I will remember Uncle Al as someone I enjoyed being with, his joyful positive attitude and outlook on life, through good times and hard, inspires all. You and your loved ones are in our prayers.
