Holly, Dave and I were so sorry to read of Al's death. It seems only yesterday you were telling me that you were engaged. He was a wonderful person. We enjoyed so much spending time with you in Pittsburgh, and I'm so happy I got to visit with you in Ligonier a few years ago. Love, Dave and Ann

I was honored to work for Al and Holly when they first opened their law firm together. Al was a man I always respected because he was so very honest, direct, generous and just plain nice The world is dimmer today because of his loss. Holly, please accept my deepest sympathies for you and all of Al’s family.

David, I did not know your Dad. With the hanful of times you and I met, I know and can tell what kind of person you are. I have a feeling you are the same kind of man he was. Besides, any animal lover is a great person in my book. Hang in there during these tough times, it will pass.
