We saw Al every Sunday as an usher. I was surprised to hear of his passing. He was always kind to my son, as he knew he loved firetrucks. My prayers are with you.

Al was a great friend as well as a fellow race fan. Every time we spoke he was cheerful and upbeat. His passing leaves the world poorer for the loss. I will never forget him.

To the Wrightstone Family,
I offer my condolences, thoughts, and prayers to each of you during this difficult time. I met Al when he came to Shippensburg and joined the Vigilant Hose Co. As our careers went different directions, I lost contact with Al until a few years ago. As code officials our paths crossed again. I followed Al on Facebook as he fought this terrible disease. I was shocked to hear of Al's passing. May God Bless each of you as you mourn the loss of your loved one.
