The last time I saw Albie was years ago at Bowlmor Bowling Alley. He was so funny and sweet and talked a lot about much how he loved his family. It is a good memory.

I remember Al from our high school days and even though I moved far away I can remember some of our school day antics and activities. It seems like yesterday. I remember a good young man and the smiles he brought to those around him. Condolences to those who have loved and lost him.

Al had a kind word for everyone. Al would reminisce about fond memories with everyone. Al visited graves of friends who had passed and honored them. Bye Al you are missed. Paul Finer
