Family Members:

Albert E. Moehlman was born on November 21, 1931 to Harry and Dinah Moehlman. Gifted with a mind for numbers and order, he went into accounting and law, with a speciality in tax. He met the love of his life, Ruth Donna Roth, in college. Soon thereafter, Al was drafted into the Navy in one of the few peacetime drafts in American history. Rather than wait for Albert to return from his service, the couple decided to marry immediately, putting together a formal wedding for 200 people in two weeks. They then went off to San Francisco to start their life together, which would include moving back to the Detroit Metro area, having four daughters, four grandchildren and one great grandchild, and finding the pleasure of international travel once they were empty nesters. While Al’s main focus was his family, he also practiced tax law and loved tennis, both as a player and spectator. Together with Ruth, he was active in the Farmington Hills Historical Society and Commission for decades, serving as treasurer for almost the entire history of the organization. Albert was a man who loved to be in perpetual motion, walking as much as 10 miles a day. He was known for erupting in joyful dance at the sound of any music with rhythm. He was predeceased by his beloved wife, Ruth Donna Roth Moehlman. Devoted father of Elizabeth Guss, Denise Moehlman, Laura (Dr. Mark) Golden and Theresa Moehlman. Loving grandfather of Lea (Jason) Onken, Ashley (James) Mills, Harrison Golden and Joseph Little. Very proud great-grandfather of Rayden Onken. Dear brother of Herman (Barbara) Moehlman. Also survived by many other loving family members and friends.
