So sorry for your loss, Beverly.
He was my cousin. My mother was Ruth Littlefield Feeney.

Dear Mrs. Acker, Ken and Extended Family,
Al was one of my very favorite Credit Union people! He always had great stories about his many encounters with people during the course of business and could make me double over with laughter. I know how much all of you meant to him and how proud he was of Ken. I hope all your wonderful memories of time spent with him will bring you comfort.
Lovingly,
