I still think of the days at CCHS when
Alwin roamed the halls of Catholic
Central High School. Al´s smile lit up
the lights back then. Miss Alwin a lot.

Al,
RIP. Can't believe that my good friend Al is gone.
We met at Clark Technical Institute {now Clark State} our senior year in high school taking computer class on Saturday mornings.
We kept in touch over the years.
I can't believe that you are gone.
I will always remember your smile and the jokes you loved to tell.
My sincerest condolences to the family. May God comfort and strengthen you.
