Another dimension to this wonderful man's life: He was a true Naturalist.
A remarkably kind and generous man whose presence still remains in our community.

To the Palmer Family, Patty, Alan, and Steven. To Marge and all the grandchildren, I hope that you all can share the life lessons that Al imparted over the years.
I worked with Al at Summer Camp for 13 years. His nature area was always crowded with eager campers, anxious to see what new repiles, and other creatures were brought to camp on a daily basis.
Al was a friend, confidant, advisor and mentor to any adult or child that needed his attention.
Al will be missed.

Thoughts and Prayers to the Palmer Family and friends during these difficult times. I had Mr Palmer at Widener for a summer session science course: what a great experience learn so much in such a short period of time. Mr Palmer made me love science as I see on all the other tributes. God Bless and keep all that have those wonderful memories of Mr Palmer.

I was Mr. Palmer's student in the 1980s, and I'll never forget his passion for science and his sense of humor. I remember hims once waxing enthusiastic about cemetaries because of "all those dated rock samples!" His passing is such a loss to the school and the community.

Mr. Palmer was my Earth Science teacher in 9th grade at Springton Lake 1976-1977, and was the advisor for the Springton TV Studio. He always put in extra effort to both enrich our educational experiences and put up with our nonsense. He will be greatly missed.

So sorry to hear of this loss, I have fond memories of Mr Palmer, his quiet, strong ways and slightly crooked smile. He was a wonderful teacher and kind man. A piece of him resides in many memories and hearts. Lisa Gray PSU Class of 1982

Aunt Marge
Im sorry for your loss. I will always remember all of Uncle Al's stories about his fishing trips or how and where he found the new addition to his reptile collection. But most of all I will remember his great cooking.
I am proud to have called him my uncle.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Love

Mr. Palmer was my Science teacher at PHS. I remember being a little afraid of him at first because he was so tall and a man of few words. I quickly realized he had a terrific sense of humor and a patient teacher. I never asked to leave class because I couldn't carry the hall pass (a 35lb. River Rock)! :)
A wonderful man.., so sorry for your loss.

Mr. Palmer was a one in a million teacher. I have many special memories from his 9th grade ATP Earth Sciences class and regularly recall his enthusiasm for teaching the subject of science as well as his sense of humor and respect for his students. My condolences for your loss. He touched MANY lives.

My condolences on your loss. I had Mr. Palmer in 9th grade ATP Earth Science in 1980 and I can truly say that it was the best science class I had in both high school and college. Mr. Palmer was an amazing teacher who inspired his students with his astounding knowledge and hilarious sense of humor.
