Dear Gina and family - I am so sorry that Al has passed. I spent many hours with Al going to and from NYC and he was so friendly and interesting (so many hobbies!) and a gentleman. He will be missed by all.

I was Bev's friend in high school, and I always enjoyed being with Barry. I'll never forget his athletic grace and professional style as he performed the sword dance in "Brigadoon" at Parkland High School. He is dancing with the angels. I am so very sorry for your loss.

Dear Gina and family,
I send my deepest sympathy to you all in the passing of Al. I worked next to Al at Air Products and we had numerous conversations on all subjects, and our recent one was the puppy issue. I'll miss his emails. He was a wonderful person, and will truly be missed by all. His special assignment of Chauffeur for the President over all his years at Air Products is something we shouldn't forget. He truly was a special man. My prayers are with you all.

I retired from Air Products in 2007, but still have very fond memories of working with Al - spending hours in the car with him talking about hundreds of topics. I know his absence will leave a huge hole as he was as genuine a person as I have ever known.

To the Family of Al Brown,
So sorry to hear about Al. He was someone you could easily talk to.. very friendly and down to earth. I had dealt with Al for many years with regard to chauffeuring individuals in my department at APCI. He was always very pleasant and congenial. My deepest sympathies to you all.

Dear Gina and Family,
I had the privilege of meeting and getting to know Al during our many trips to JFK and Newark. Al always had a smile on his face and was a gentleman.
Al would always enlighten us with his stories and how his Dad saw the world by booking passage on Cargo Ships.
Please accept my condolence and deepest sympathies.

Gina and Tristen:
I first met Al more than twenty years ago when he chauffeured me to Kennedy Airport to pick up a exchange student who was going to work at Air Products - and live with me - for the summer. We arrived in NY too early - and took a walk on Jones Beach - yes back in those days we wore suits! So many wonderful conversations with Al over the years - about Air Products "news" and gardening with "moonlight broom". My love and prayers to both of you.

Gina and Family:
We were saddened to hear about Al's passing. He was a wonderful, caring, thoughtful and happy man. We truly enjoyed his beaming smile. We enjoyed conversations, years ago, with Al about the Fogelsville area -- where he grew up around and where my mom and I grew up too. Those were great reminiscing conversations.
We want to express our sympathies to you and your family.

Family of Al Brown:
My condolences to your family. I am a fellow long term employee who knew of Al through his chauffeur duties. He was a class act, a friendly recognized face after being away from home and seeing him always started the process of finally being home. We at Air Products will miss him. God bless you and your family at this sad time.

Gina,
You may recall that you, Al and I had lunch here at Air Products in February of this year. I greatly appreciated the kind personal advice and counsel you and Al offered to me. I have been friends with Al since we both started worked in the Trexlertown manufacturing shop in 1979. And he was always a welcome sight at the airport after a long trip. We will miss him greatly. It has been my pleasure to have met you as well. I know that your marriage brought real happiness to Al. Please accept our condolences for your loss.

Gina and Family, You do not know me but in my early days with Air Products, I traveled frequently with Al and our executives to Harrisburg, and occassionally other cities.
