I was sincerely saddened to hear of Al's passing. He was a nearly daily part of my life for almost 15 years at Vincennes University Broadcasting. I appreciate the relationship we developed over that time. My condolences to the family at this difficult time.

Aunt Natal, Karen, Michael, Lindsey, Kent & Renee,
I don't even know where to begin or what to say. I can't believe he has passed!! You all have been in my prayers daily for strength during this time.
I have one vivid memory of when Dianne & I were kids and Al & Karen took us camping & fishing in Hamilton on the side of a river bank a long time ago. What a great time that was!!
I hope you all can take comfort in knowing that he is in God's hands now and is reunited with Uncle Mike, Dad, Aunt Virginia, Jed and the rest of the family.
God Bless you all and my condolences to you all.
