We are so sorry to hear of Al’s passing. We very much enjoyed the time we spent with him at the lake. He was a font of knowledge and our conversations were always interesting. We will miss him.

Al was a delight to know, always intellectually stimulating and always able to make the rest of us feel appreciated. We’re very glad that our lives overlapped for so many years. Al will be missed.

I was a real good friend of his one son Mike. We hung around together for several years after high school. Like his one son Carl (whom we called Junior) I, too was in the Air Force for several years. I was very close to Mike and his sister Patty. I always considered Al to be like a second dad to me. I'll never forget him or his family. R.I.P. Al and Ida.
