Al was a great friend of the family and friend. We will miss seeing him walk up and down the street in front of the house. He always spoke and we always laughed. Heath said he made the best rolls ever. He will be greatly missed!

Al was our neighbor and good friends. Susan and I would have coffee on their back porch and Al and Millie would tell us about things that they had done and places they had been. We will miss them both.
