Albert W. Lucklum was born December 21, 1930, to Joseph and Katie (Wagner) Lucklum in Huron, South Dakota. He was raised on a farm southwest of the town, and left school early to become a farmhand for a few years. In this span of time, he met his wife, Eldora Reimer, and they shared thirteen loving years together before her unfortunate passing. He then moved on to the Bureau of Reclamation, working there as a surveyor (self-taught) geologist for a few decades before stepping away and doing what he has become well known for repairing and selling televisions as the owner of Al's Sales and Service for the majority of the rest of his life.

He also had his life partner, Josetta "Jo" Shoultz, and he took in her seven children.

Albert was a proud member of the United States Military, serving in the Korean War, and a dedicated father who spent his free time with his family. He was a jack of all trades, and a very hard worker. He was talented not only at his various jobs, but he was also a skilled carpenter and handyman, adding onto his house over the years - not to mention he delivered his own baby daughter, Wanda.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Joseph and Katie Lucklum; his wife, Eldora Lucklum; his life partner, Josetta Shoultz; his daughter, Yvonne Lucklum; and his four siblings.

He is survived by his children; Wayne (Wanda) Lucklum, Wanda (Larry) Erickson and Bruce (Lynn) Lucklum; six grandchildren, Clint, Kristi, Karrie, Duke, Briannna and Thomas; and eight great-grandchildren, Byron, Courtney, Katie, Shila, Corbin, Dalton, Ariana and Hecker.
