He was my superintendent at STATE FARM CLAIMS for several years. He hired me to work specifically with a man who handled body liabilities. He later became friends with our family. My son just retired after 35 plus years with State Farm and it was Al that hired him and started his career. I later became the Secretary to the Agency Director in NJ. AL was a super guy and a great man to work for many years ago and a great friend.

Dear Bernice and Family, it seems like only yesterday that I would be running into Al's office for one thing or another. We have so many wonderful memories and it is because of Al that our son Glenn still works for State Farm in Charlotte, NC. Lou and I were saddened to hear of Al's passing. Our prayers are with you and the family. We pray that each day will become more peaceful to all of you. May God be with you with his blessings.

Bernice, we are sorry to hear of Al's passing. May all the happy memories you and your family share help you through this sad time. Al gave me my start at SF and we all had some good times together. Memories are God's gift to us to help us at this time. You and your family have our deepest sympathy.
