Al DeRusha, who was both an on-screen authority figure and a behind-the-scenes player in the AWA for years, has died. He was 88.

The news was broken by a carnival and fairs website, which was but one of the many facets of DeRusha’s fascinating life.

“It is with great sadness to report the passing of Al DeRusha. Al most recently served as the Jamboree Coordinator for the Outdoor Amusement Business Association (OABA) and is also the past OABA Vice President. In 2017, Al was inducted into the OABA Hall of Fame,” wrote Matt Cook at carnivalwarehouse.com.
