I just heard the news yesterday and I am still trying to collect my thoughts. I am deeply sad I missed the funeral. I did want to tell the Myers family you are in my prayers. Al was my friend. I loved him. I miss him. He made me smile! I went to school with his children and quickly grew to love them as my dear teammates.
I know God hears and answers our prayers. God loves us.
Love, Joan Atwater

I worked with Al for 10 years at Costco and will always remember our Sunday rivalry over what footbal game was going to be on the big screen. After I left Costco, it was always a joy to see his smile at the front door. He will be missed.
