Janesville, WI - On March 3, 2021, surrounded by his family, this world lost a great man and the angels gained another. Al was a loving, devoted, and cherished husband, father, Papa, brother, brother-in-law, nephew, and a great story telling uncle, cousin, and friend. Al was born on March 14, 1952 in Janesville, WI to Delores (Homan) and Jack Tilton. He graduated from Milton High School. From Aug. 1969 to Aug. 1973, Al was proud to serve his country as a sergeant in the United States Marine Corp. Semper Fi.
On Oct. 9, 1971 Al and his high school sweetheart, Susan Beechler, began their amazing journey together. He was so proud of their three children, A.J., David, and Carla, and their 10 precious grandchildren. After returning home from the service, Al "Fonze" worked for the Chicago Northwestern Railroad, until an injury prevented him from continuing. He then went on to receive an associate degree from Blackhawk Technical Collage. In 1992 he received his Real Estate license and in 1994 his Real Estate Broker license. From 1992 until he retired, he was a Realtor/Broker/partner for JB & R Realty.
