A.J. met Renee Moulton-Bertino over 25 years ago and was married for 14 wonderful years. A.J. gave, even when he had nothing to give. He will forever be in our hearts and a man of his word and way smarter than he wanted to believe. Even at his 30 year class reunion dads friends said he hasn’t changed much. Always trying to have a good time and making sure you are ok. He believed patience was a virtue and no matter what; “you gotta keep on keeping on.”He graduated from Beaverhead County High School in 1986. He studied business administration, accounting, psychology, and computer science at the U of M. He was a former Night Operations Supervisor and Safety Coordinator at Accurate Cleaning Inc. of Loomis, California. A.J. enjoyed golfing, bowling and working on cars.
