Alvin Leroy Cosselman

December 23, 1930 - April 22, 2021

Alvin L. Cosselman passed away April 22, 2021 with his loving family by his side. Al was born December 23, 1930 in Sumner, Iowa to the late Leroy and Ethel (Ramsey) Cosselman. He graduated from Oran High School in Iowa class of 1948, in Iowa and went on to eventually own and operate a Concrete, Step, and Iron Co. which made concrete steps and custom ornamental iron railings, exterior gates, and stairways. After retiring from the CS&I Co., he went on to co-own A&M Transport with his son hauling automotive assembly parts and co-run a small family farm. He enjoyed spending time at their place on Drummond Island hosting many family and friends and especially fishing, watching sports with Eleanor, and restoring antique cars. Al, along with his wife, faithfully gave to their local church and supported mission work and foods banks as a way to minister and invest in others. Al quietly looked for ways to help those in need and felt God had blessed him in many ways but never looked for recognition or admiration for what he had done. He loved his wife and family and looked forward to spending time with them, especially during special occasions and holidays. He is survived by his loving wife of over 66 years, Eleanor R. (Wagner); children, Mitchell Cosselman and Susan (Larry) Schrauger; 7 grandchildren, and 9 great grandchildren. Al was preceded in death by sisters, Mildred Napoli, Helen DeGraff, and Evelyn Weber.
