My condolences to Al's family. I worked for Al for over 20 years. Even if we were deeply involved with work and had deadlines, Al would stop what he was doing if he got a visitor. His guest would get his full attention. It might have been a bit frustrating but in retrospect that's who he was. His family, friends and neighbors were more important to him than anything else. I will miss all the great lunches, the great music he always had playing, all his outrageous stories. But mostly I will...

The Morenos send our condolences to the entire Gonzales family. We always enjoyed seeing “Uncle Al”. He always had a big smile and great sense of humor! He really enjoyed watching others be happy. God speed Uncle Al!
May God keep you.
