Helen and family,

Memories of Alan go all the way back to very early grade school in Michigan when the school bus drove over Alan's foot and he withstood much teasing thereafter. Alan liked to talk but also was always willing to listen. All the family has lost a good man. I hope the good memories he left will bring comfort to all the family.

Scott & family, I'm sincerely sorry for your loss. I'm sure Al has 3 people cornered somewhere and he's talking their ear off. I hope he enjoyed his retirement before he got ill. Best Regards, Art Ruggiero
