Al was born May 28, 1923 in Springville, Iowa, the fifth child of Arthur and Evalina Hoge. After Al graduated from high school in Iowa he went to live with his oldest brother and his wife, Harold and Ruth Hoge, in NW Washington, D.C. There he met Marian Bradley Hussey at the Florida Avenue Friends Meeting in Washington, D.C. They were married October 21, 1944. In 1948, Marian and Al moved from Bethesda, Maryland, to Albuquerque, New Mexico, for Al to begin his nearly 38 year career at Sandia National Laboratory. Al was an early attender and long time member of the Albuquerque Monthly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers), where a memorial service will be held at 3:00 p.m. on November 3, 2012. In lieu of flowers, the family prefers contributions to your favorite charity. We will miss his corny humor as well as his positive and encouraging nature. We love you Al.
