The Big Al's Legacy
Alan “Big Al” Wilma was a man remembered as much for his humor as his strength. Even in his final days, he managed to make those around him smile, a reflection of the wit and courage that defined his life.
Born in Longview, Washington in 1945, Al grew up with strong values that guided him through a lifetime of service and hard work. He graduated from Washington State University and served as an officer in the U.S. Army before returning home to build a successful career as a CPA and business owner in Colville.
Al was endlessly curious, intelligent, and imaginative. He loved fly fishing, boating, history, and above all, time spent with the people he loved. When he met his wife, Saundra, the two formed a partnership full of deep love, friendship, and shared adventure. Together, they built a life, a family, and a business that became a meaningful part of their community.
Despite facing profound challenges later in life, Al met them with resilience and grace. He remained devoted to his work, his family, and his faith until the very end.

Big Al’s Coffee Shop is inspired by that same spirit: warm, welcoming, and full of character. It stands as a small tribute to a man who lived fully, loved deeply, and never lost his sense of humor.
