He was proud of his heritage and didn’t mind letting you see his “Ragin Cajun” side.
Al was a salesman and worked over 24 years for Ecolab and retired in 2004. After retirement, he and Jackie moved to the Maryville area in 2006.
He enjoyed golf, and playing with his buddies in the senior golf group. He was a musician and played drums. He was with a group in his high school years, and they had played any ‘Honky-tonk’ gig they could find. He was also fond of entertaining his grandkids with his drum solos on the steering wheel. Al was a music, golf and crawfish lover.
He was also proud of his 18 years as a Maryville Host Lions Club member and was the club secretary for many of those years.
Besides his parents, he was preceded in death by his three sons, James Orgeron, Sean Orgeron, and Tony Wilson.
He married Jacqualine Scarano, and she survives of the home. Other survivors include his children, Lisa (David) Dayton, Temecula, California; Nicole (Scott) Crochet, Harahan, Louisiana; Stacy (Tony) Wood, Maryville, Missouri, and Callie (Michelle Garcia) Orgeron, Westminster, Colorado; his brother, James (Carolyn) Bourque, his six grandchildren, Brett (Amalia) Dayton, Holly (Teki) Menna, Casey Dayton, Christian Orgeron, Kensley Wood, and Gracelyn Wood, and seven great grandchildren.
Al has been cremated under the care of the Bram Funeral Home, Maryville, Missouri.
