Al Lerner

To Al: Yesterday, Feb. 9th, was my dad's birthday. Both of you were born the same year--1919. And both of you are still loved and missed.--Victor L.

One of my favorite memories ...listening to Al play the piano (always) while I was enjoying the jacuzzi after dark under the stars....

You were recently joined by the company of Burt Bacharach. You were both great artists and I was fortunate to enjoy the results of your musical accomplishments as well as those who proceeded you. Still miss you and my father.--Victor Lee (as you used to call me)

Hi Al, I still miss not only you, but your expert advice on practicing piano. Recently, Joe Siracusa, your lifelong friend, ascended to that beautiful place. I hope you, my dad and Joe are all together sharing experiences and reminiscing about good times.

Al, I still miss and think about you often--especially when I'm practicing/playing piano. I'll always be grateful for the advice you gave me.

You wouldn't believe that a mutual friend of yours, my dad's and myself, Joe Siracusa, just turned 99 on Feb. 3. I saw him a few weeks ago and he's still healthy, alert and keeping fit.

I turned 70 last June and I'm trying to stay fit as well. By the way, I enjoyed reading your biography.

As with my...

Dear Al. Did now know for some reason you had a guest book on line. So I am very late.....You are one person I will never forget...that's impossible.
I l0ved the way we bantered back and forth with your unparalleled sense of humor. Life did not pass you by. Of course you were best know for your amazing career...but I cared more for you as an individual rather than a pianist. You are missed for sure. I know you are in heaven....and at age 86, it may not too long before I join...

I miss you pop.

HAPPY BELATED 95th BIRTHDAY. I hope you and my dad are still reminiscing wherever you are. Take Care.--Victor L.
