I remember when Al and Sue moved into the neighborhood... They were such great neighbors and we had many good times. He was so funny when he would help my dad with projects around the house. Greg and Derek I'm sorry for your loss but be glad to know your dad was loved by everyone.
RIP Al

Great memories growing up in the neighborhood, family ski trips, rides to hockey practice and waterskiing in the salt pond. Al was a great neighbor to have, opening his house to family and friends. RIP Al
