I worked with Al from 1968 at RETA thru his tenure at Ralston Purina. He had requested my worn out neck tie which I mailed to him (standing joke between us). I think of him frequently. God Bless.

I worked at Sverdrup for nearly 10 years and in the company of many good people. Al was one of them. He was always smiling and a friend to many. I am sorry for your loss.
