Al was a brother to Jackie Jordan (Sudie) of Gibson, and he carried fond memories of his late brother, Miles Andrew Jordan. His legacy continues through his adoring grandchildren, Lauren Holloway (Jacob) of Laurel Hill, William Seth English of Fort Bragg, and Jordan Tyler Bishop of Stanley, NC, as well as his great-grandchildren, Rhett and Greyson Holloway, who brought him immeasurable joy and pride. A man of many interests, Al's love for music was evident in the way he played his guitar and his admiration for Willie Nelson. His loved to watch his grandchildren play outside.
