Al Schnegelberger was born in Hillrose, CO on December 22, 1941 and passed away in Denver on April 8, 2020. He attended Denver Public Schools: Elyria Elementary, Cole Junior High and Manual High, class of 1960. Al attended the University of Colorado, Boulder, where he studied chemistry. During a long and successful career, he enjoyed employment with several companies in the pipeline and natural gas industries, serving much of the Rocky Mountain West.
In the summer of 2012, he became involved in the Showcase Manual project due to his computer skills in designing the larger display posters. In 2013 he joined the Friends of Manual as a board member. He took over the historian’s position for Friends of Manual in March 2015.
As historian, Al took great pride in making sure all the Manual High School memorabilia accumulated since the inception of the school in 1894 was maintained, including yearbooks and the display cases in the Thunderdome gallery. He held both positions until his passing.
For 10 years he arranged the monthly luncheons for his class of 1960. Each month 10-20 alumni gathered to share their lives.
The son of Elias Schnegelberger and Amelia Wagner, preceding him in death were his parents, sisters Amelia Bertha Lillich, Anna Elizabeth Hurt and Alberta Jean Sant, and a brother, Harold Dean Schnegelberger. He is survived by a brother, Elias Edward Schnegelberger of Raleigh NC, a brother-in-law, Eugene Lillich of Olathe, KS, a sister-in-law, Nancy Mollard of Arvada, CO, numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and many friends. Two nephews, Doug Snider and Don Sant and their families, were especially close to Al.
Al’s bright smile and engaging stories about Manual’s past will be sorely missed. When it is safe to congregate, Friends of Manual will plan a tribute to Al. Please share your memories on our facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/FriendsofManual/ or via email at fom@friendsofmanual.org.
