When I think if my Uncle, he is smiling. I hear him laughing with my dad or telling stories about Alana. I know he is laughing with my dad and Arlene now. God bless and much love, Bernice

It happened so fast. I still wake up every morning wishing I could walk into that room and I hear you call out to me with smiles on your face. Those hugs you gave were heavenly. I only shared 7months of your last days but those 7months meant a life time to me. I was not only your care giver but I became part of the family. I miss you Alex but am glad you are in a better place and that gives me joy.i still remember when we sing "your name is Yahweh" that became our every day song every morning and I remember u asking each morning when I forgot to play it"ain't we singing Yahweh today?" You were such a sweetheart ,and you will forever be in my heart. Continue to to RIP knowing your smiling and watching over us. MERCY MATTHEW

For my Uncle Al and Godfather,
One of my earliest memories of my Uncle was when he was building his house in Bensalem, PA. He and my Father were working on the roof I was watching them going up and down the latter it was a warm day. My Mother and Aunt Arline where there watching. I remember a party at their house my Mother, Father, Grand Mother and my Sister and I where there. Luckily, I have many more fond memories.
He was a gentle soul. Uncle Al rest in peace and knowing God will give you your just rewards.
Your Nephew and Godchild,
Larry Potts and Denise
