I remember Al with good memories and warm thoughts from our days at Honeywell in the 1960s. May he rest in peace. He was a good man.

To my cousins,
I am so sorry to hear about the death of your dad. His first wife Mae was my dad's sister. My dad was Francis Kozitza. Just by chance I came upon this today in looking for another obit. You have my prayers and sympathy.

Mr. Rudell,
Sir, I didn't know you but I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the U.S. Army Air Forces during WW II and for being a member of the Greatest Generation. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
