Al was born on Sunday,March 20, 1949, in Orange, Texas to parents, Linnie “Lois” (Kelley) and Albert M. Bussell, Sr. He was a resident of the Hartburg/Sunset Acres communities for the majority of his life. Al was a very loving, goodhearted man who loved his family dearly.His grandchildren were the light of his life. Al was considered the designated “cooker” and one of the founding members, along with his wife Debbie, of a group called The Honey Doo’s. This was a group of close family and friends that held numerous benefits over the years to help families fund raise to pay for funerals and/or medical expenses for their loved ones. Being able to help those in need was what he enjoyed doing and he never turned anyone away. In his free time, he enjoyed the company of his friends playing cards, watching any motor sports(but NASCAR was his favorite), or catching whatever game was on at the time. His favorites to watch, of course, were the Houston Astros and Dallas Cowboys.Al was a husband, father, son, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend to so many. He will forever be loved and missed by all who knew him.
