Al was a wonderful host when we visited his lovely home on the coast of Freeport, Maine and in Millis, Massachussetts. He took us on a tour of Land's End, LL Bean and the Honeycomb Bridge and even served us each our own lobster! Every Christmas we looked forward to his fabulous, homemade brownies and we reciprocated with his favorite Claxton Fruitcake. It was a joy to speak regularly with Al on the phone as he always spoke lovingly as a proud Dad of his sons and our dear friend, Kathleen Keough, his sister-in-law. We will miss his helpful advice on medical issues and topics of the day. We extend our sincere sympathy to his family and friends. Sending Love and Blessings from Florida,
Richard and Bonnie Grabowski and Family
