Deepest sympathy to Al's family. Really enjoyed working with him at Shoreline and Shorecrest High School. He was a dedicated and committed educator and serious about his job. He also knew how to enjoy life. He was fun at any staff party and truly loved his colleagues. Paul Johnson, Phil Wittee, Bob Byfield and myself always sought him out and had great admiration for his military Career. He was a true comrade. An educator that always expected the best from every student that came before him. Sorry we couldn't be at his service. May God Bless All of You and Give You Strenght as you grieve your Loss. Leo Valenzuela and Family.
