Albert Junior Finney

He married our mom, Sandra Finney, September 15, 1960 and they started their family in Louisiana where he was stationed in the Army. Eventually they settled back in Muskogee, Oklahoma where they raised six children and they taught us many values in our family owned Texaco station. Dad was devoted to his family. He had a great sense of humor even throughout his illness. He gave his family many blessings but most importantly the understanding of unconditional love. The legacy he leaves with his family is “May the work I’ve done speak for me.” Dad was a mechanic and owner of Al’s Texaco. His home garden was the place of great joy and many stories.
