Sorry to hear about Al, he was a true professional in all he did. He supported us all at EB for years and still managed to get onto the golf course. My condolences to the family.

Dear Laura,
I am so sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. Al was a very nice man. My heart goes out to you and your family at this time.
I dont know if you remember this, but we were at a picnic at your house. Your dads tooth was killing him, so he pulled it out with a pair of pliers. I will never forget that because i was like no way: I need novicaine, and how the hell is he doing that. Al was tough guy.... thats what I will remember about him.
With loving thoughts

My sincere condolences on your loss. Al was the first supervisor I ever had at EB many years ago. I still remember him telling me "never use your sick days when you’re sick, if you’re going to be sick you might as well be at work". He was a fun and wonderful boss. My prayers are with his friends and family.

Al,
I will always remember the time we spent together. I loved going golfing with you, and driving the golf cart. You always treated me like a daughter, and I'll never forget it. I hope your family can find peace during this very sad time. I'm sure your missed terribly. Even though we lost touch years ago I thought of you often.
Love always,
Molly
