So sorry to hear of your loss. Al was such a great Scoutmaster, and funny as could be. Campouts were more fun than you can imagine, and he was always there when you needed him to be serious as well. I know that his service to his Scouts had to come, at times, at an inconvenience to his family, so I am grateful and say thanks to you all for allowing him to be there for us. I know he will be missed.
