Benton resident Albert Doyle "WIZARD" Speelman whose loving kind nature touched all who encountered him died Saturday June 11th.

Wizard was a brother and proud member of the Boozefighters Motorcycle Club and of the Moose lodge of Benton. He attended church at Hearts Journey. He is a former member of the Martyrs MC , and of Brothers of the third wheel. He was a Vietnam veteran serving the U.S. Navy squadron 11 .Wizard gave freely of himself and his time volunteering to several different causes. He enjoyed riding his motorcycle on trips in the company of his brothers and sisters, camping, playing pool and his life at his home on the ranch.

Wizards outgoing disarmingly friendly nature drew him to countless friends. He loved his family, his club brothers and sisters, his many friends and his life. Wizard never met a stranger, having a smile and a hug for all he knew and those he only just met. His hugs, kisses and big warm smile will be missed by all who knew him. He had a way of making a person feel welcomed. How lucky we were to know a person who makes saying goodbye so hard but goodbyes are not forever. Goodbyes are not the end. Goodbye simply means I'll miss you, until we meet again.
