Hard to believe that it will be 6 years in Sept 2019. We still miss you greatly. The Fort Lee Association of Quartermasters is still honoring
You with your annual scholarship golf classic on 20 September 2019 Hopefully the tradition will continue. Love you always.

RIP Big Al.

We were 2nd Lieutenants in the Quartermaster Officers Basic Course, Ft Lee, Class 84-1. We were fresh out of college and getting a real paycheck. Many of us bought new cars. Big Al bought a two-door flashy sports car. Soon afterwards he broke his leg, and because of the cast, could not fit in his car. As always, he had lots of friends to give him rides.

Last time I ran into Big Al, was right before his Army War College. He was so excited because they played volleyball for competition. Being Big Al, he demonstrated his block shot and spike. We laughed.

Thanks for being you.

Sir,
I didn't get the pleasure to meet you in person, but I had the delight to meet your family this past Friday at your Golf Tournament at Fort Lee. We all had a great time and I heard a great many stories about your awesomeness. Thank you to you and your family... God bless.

Hi Sonny, its been over a year now and you are truly missed. We are always talking about you especially this year when March rolled around and we did not have the Old Skool Party, it did not seem the same. This week i am up at Ft Lee taking a class in the ALU bldg and i ran into Karen and it was so nice to see her. She looks good. We talked for a minute and we hugged and kissed each other. She misses you but I told her each day will get better just keep thinking of the good times. If you were here I know we would have had lunch or dinner somewhere. Love you man and I will talk to you soon. Ohh this weekend is your Class Reunion c/o 1979 and all the fellas will be in town (Mitch, Hawk, Mark, Renaud, and the list goes on, we will party for you in your memory. Smooches and love ya always!!

Big Al,

A year has passed since you left us and just want you to know you are missed by many. As you know, life goes on and we now have summer behind us and heading into what I think is the best time of the year "autumn". Week one of the NFL season just passed and everyone is expecting the best for their team and dreaming of heading to the Super Bowl! We miss you, brother.

Big Al,
Went to the Jazz Festival last week. On Saturday, I went to get a beer at the beer tent. On my way to the tent, I ran into Keith and said, "Come on let's go have a beer for Big Al." When we go to the tent we met Bernard. I don't think it was by accident that we all met in the same area at the same time. It was fate! We got our drinks and proposed a toast using your words..."There a big ships and there are small ships, but ain't nothing like friendship!" Your legacy lives on! You are missed my brother.

This weekend is the Capitol Jazzfest weekend in Columbia, MD, an event that we never usually miss. I pondered so long on the fact that I would be attending it without you that the entire weekend sold out. I know that you are there in spirit. This was always a highlight of the year because the music and venue are great and because we would see so many great friends.

When someone you love passes away, every event that you attend after that is like the anniversary of attending that event for the first time alone!!!!! Profound. Love and miss you always.
