Uncle Al, "The Kiddies Pal", was the greatest story teller ever! "Wait a minute, wait a minute...," in that gruff voice, usually led to yet another tale that would have all of us laughing out loud. Thank you for all the wonderful memories and guaranteed fun every time the family got together. May there be plenty of golf, scotch and cigars, but no poultry, in heaven! Give Kitty and Jack a hug for us. The angels are in for a treat.
We love you and will miss you, but always smile when we remember you.

Who did we call when help was needed for?:

....A water problem
....No electricity
....Snow removal
....Noisey tenants
....Balls on the garage roofs

AL STANK

He was always there with a helping hand, a smile and sometimes a cigar.

Neighbors for over 25 years ---- Friends forever.

Alice, Sharon, Michael, Steven & Helen --I know you'll miss him but your loss is heaven's gain.

Uncle Al brought life and sparkle wherever he was. He always had a twinkle in his eye, a crook in his smile as if he was up to something, and and a bounce to his step. Mischief was his middle name. And He deserved and received respect from those who knew him and all of us who loved him so. I remember how noble he was when he handed over his golf clubs to his son Michael. He impressed me with his ability to accept the changes in his health with such dignity. He is golfing now on the perfect green in heaven and likely teasing and laughing with my mom. We'll miss you Uncle Al, your love, laughter and cigars.
Niece, Debi
