Allan graduated from Lake Geneva High School with the class of 1955. He was a graduate of Moler Barber College. He then operated his own shop in Huntley, IL. Later he owned and operated Loveland Upholstery and Archery Shop in Lake Geneva. Allan served in the U.S. Army Reserves as a cook. His love of cooking lasted throughout his life.

Al loved his family. He took great pride in being able to spend quality time with his children. He loved hunting and fishing and had his children in the woods and on the water when they were young. He had a fantastic memory of the north woods. He could tell you every spot he had hunted from and what happened that day. While living in Lake Geneva the whole Loveland family were active members of the Big Foot Archery Club. Al served as Club House Manager for many years. In 2006, when Al and Carol retired, they moved to Hayward so Al could fish and hunt in the area he loved. He joined the Hayward Bass Club and spent many enjoyable hours fishing with his son as his partner.
