Dear Pat - We were very sorry to see in the Bayside Gazette that Al had passed away. We are still in the Isle of Wight at the same spot E-21. However, we now live on Fenwick Island. Both retired. If you are in OC please stop at the Park or give us a call at home in DE.
Again please accept our sincere condolences to you and your family.

Pat, As I read of the passing of Al, it brought back so many memories of Dundalk, your lovely home/lawn. What a lovely couple the two of you presented. At this moment in time,words seem so inadequate, but may memories bring you comfort. Shalom
