Aunt Nancy and family; I'm sure that you think that you know how much we loved Uncle Al. but the best that I can say is that if you multiply that numerous times, it still will not come close to our love and admiration for him.

Aunt Nancy, Albi, Mary & Grace, Joey and Chrisy, there are no words to ease your pain. Please know that you are wrapped in the love of all of your family and friends and you are in our thoughts and prayers.
Aunt Nancy and family, you know what a practical joker uncle Al always was. When I was little, he always told me that I was his girl friend and when I was older he'd marry me....which was great until I found out years later he had told my friend Juliann the very same thing .... what a kidder he was.!! I'll miss him.
