After living a full and meaningful life, he passed away on the morning of August 24, 2017, after a courageous battle with mesothelioma. Al is survived by his wife of nearly thirty-seven years, Bette Lou Rohm; five children, Donald, David, Debra Fidalgo, Darrell and Alfred Jr.; eleven grandchildren, eleven great- grandchildren, two nephews and two nieces. Al was the youngest of three sons born to William and Catherine Rohm, after his father immigrated to America from Germany after World War I. Life was hard during those times and Al developed a strong work ethic and a love for his country at an early age, working odd jobs to help his family. After graduating from Van Nuys Senior High School, Al went onto college to study design. Those days were interrupted at the age of 18, when he was drafted into the United States Army to fight in the Korean War, where he was the recipient of the Purple Heart for wounds received in the Battle of Heartbreak Ridge. Al moved back to his hometown roots in the Hollywood area and put his carpentry and designer talents to work in a new career in the television and film industry, where he rose to top positions as an Art Director/Production Designer. He received high honors for his work on the television series In the Heat of the Night, filmed in Atlanta. His impressive work on other productions include The Waltons, Eight is Enough, Who's Julia?, The Thirty-Third Victim, Jack and Mike, Fatal Confession: A Father Dowling Mystery, The A-Team, The Dukes of Hazard, The Oldest Rookie and many others. He retired in 2000. Al loved to travel with his wife, Bette Lou, and also enjoyed both water and snow skiing. He will be remembered as a talented Art Director and a generous, loving husband and father. And, with a smile, he will be remembered for his affection for his furry, four-legged doggy companions...who all adored him and took him on many walks!
