I remember going to visit him when he lived in AZ. My mom Loretta, Auntie Babe and my sister Nancy. We were at the AZ airport and he was picking us up; we were coming down the escalator and I spotted a nice looking man leaning against a pole I had to do a double take because he looked like Steve McQueen. We laughed the entire weekend...he was a great host and we always had fun. I will miss you Al. Love, your cousin Hazel
