Dear Rita and family:

On behalf of my wife, Jill, and my son, Wesley, I extend my deepest sympathy. It's not every day that you meet people in the airport and become fast friends. But we did, and I'll be forever grateful. Being Italian I think we gravitated to each other and of course, we wound up knowing so many of the same West Siders, etc.

Al was a great man and I am honored to have known him. May he rest in peace. God bless you, Rita, you are a wonderful person and I cherish our friendship.

Much Love,

Mike & Diane Zimmer
