I met Al thru another friend's boyfriend now husband. I remember that our first date was at the old Natick Drive In. And he was a true gentleman. Can't tell you what the movie was, because we talked about all kinds of things. I can't remember all that we said, but he had me laughing about all kinds of things. He was always quiet, but, he had a wonderful sense of humor. He was a kind soul who, was 1st class in my book. We had an off & on relationship, and eventually we drifted apart. And I moved away. I occasionally heard how he was doing, and was so happy to hear that he was a husband & a father. I wish I could have caught up with him and talked with him one last time. My condolences, thoughts, and prayers are with you, his family. He will always be in your memories & your hearts. I know that I will always remember him fondly.
