Dear Al..or as I always called you "Big Al the Kiddies Pal" also as a fellow Marine. We had lots of fun together in Bell Atlantic and Delchester Claim..where your favorite meal had to have Zuccini. I especially remember the Plack you made for me with the Marine Boon Docker and a Hammer (I still have it) maybe because I was known as Hammer Shoes. May God Bless your soul.... rest in peace.

Dear Al . . . I’ll see you for the last time this morning at IHM. My heart is heavy. I’ll miss your humor, the stories about Fishtown, the good times we had at Bell Tel/Verizon over the years, the trips to Arlington, the fun with your book, sweeping the Mayor’s phones for bugs, the carpool, and shot in my morning coffee. Diane, Crystal, Diana and I will miss seeing you and Joan at the shore every summer. I know the Miraculous Medal is close to your heart, may you receive the great graces promised. God bless you and your family . . . Love, Ken

Although it's been years since we were all together, Uncle Al, Aunt Joan and all of you have such a special place in our hearts. Our memories will last forever. Uncle Al was a wonderful man who gave us so much of himself. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Fosbenner Family,
My deepest sympathy for the loss of Mr. Fosbenner. Kathe, I have so many fond memories of our days together at IHM, Hallahan and sledding on Donnelly's Hill. I always had such a blast coming to your home growing up. Your parents were always so welcoming.

Much love,
