I remember Al when we first moved in our house. He would tell my husband and I stories about being a guard... He was a very interesting man... He was a great gentleman and tried to do anything for you, (like bringing up the garbage tote when we weren't home in time) I would always tell him don't worry about it
I would call him on wintry days and ask if he needed anything, But he would always say no...
I will miss him very much...
To Al's family my thoughts and prayers are with you... He was a special neighbor...

It was one month ago today that Heaven got the greatest gift of all! My heart misses and aches for you each and every day. No one will ever fill the shoes of my papa. You meant more to me than you will ever know. I continue to love you Papa and I know one day I will see your smiling face again. Please be my guardian angel forever because I sure do need some of your strength, wisdom and courage! I love you and miss you more than words can say!
Hugs and kisses to Heaven....

For many years Al would take a walk almost daily in the cemetery and he often had a story to tell us about WWII or working at Kodak.
He always had a wave and a smile for us working at the cemetery. He will be missed.

I am so sorry Kim. I was crazy about your Dad. I have so many wonderful memories of my childhood. You and all of our cousins were a huge part of it. Alfie could always make me laugh. I miss you all, and my prayers are with you. Love, Leslie Green Schlesinger

Hi Papa, I am so sorry that we did not get a chance to say goodbye to you. You will be missed. Julia and Jordan picked out the brightest star in the sky last night and made it your star. I know you are in a better place and not in pain anymore. God bless you Papa!!
