I've thought about Al so many times in the past years and always hoped he would be with all of us forever because he was such a very great man to have known. Al taught me martial arts years ago at Philadelphia Indoor Pistol range in Philly and I always held great respect for him!! I just now found his obituary and want to send my sincerest condolences to his family. Al will always be in my prayers.

Dear Theresa and Family,
I am sooo saddened to hear that Sensei Saunders has passed. He has been on my mind so much since the beginning of this year and I wanted soo badly to see him. I had no idea he was ill. I pray that God will wrap His loving arms around the family and lift you up and give you strength. Al was one of the most powerful teachers that I was ever blessed to sit underneath. He impacted my life in such a major way and I will miss him dearly. I love you Al, your legacy WILL continue...oots!!

Dear Teresa, Paul and Family,
Sensi Saunders was a guiding force in the development of so many young people who sought training, confidence and pride in learning Uechi Ryu Karate. Our family is proud to have known and loved all of you. We will never forget our Native American Brother. With much love and prayer... Teresa & Sarah Duncan & Family

Al was our Tai Chi instructor at Holy Redeemer for many years. We felt like he and his family were our friends.
He was a kind and patient man with a strength that glowed from within.
We will miss him greatly.
