Read MoreI remember meeting Uncle Al when I visited Michigan to see my mom, Sue May. He was incredibly kind and very funny. He knew I was interested in family history, and was more than willing to chat with me on the phone about our heritage. I'm so glad I was able to know him. Rest In Peace Uncle Al.

Al has been a special co-worker and friend since December of 1971.
He was a very caring individual with great integrity. Which is very rare an individual and more so in a man. He was much loved and will be missed by many.

Al, Mike and Bill Alexander and my son Brad were in Indian Guides together and we had many good times and memories. One fond Indian guide memory was when we went to a lodge/ camp that his brother Dick owned in Gladwin. There was a snow sculpting contest and our Tribe the Alexander's and Hileman's made a Buffalo. We won because the sun came out, which made the male buffalo drip water in a precarious area, and Al laughed hilariously. Another great memory was our trip to Toronto with the...

I was lucky enough to call Mr. A a close family friend. Growing up with Mike and Bill, I spent a lot of time with the Alexanders and have nothing but great memories. Mr. A was always kind and welcoming, gregarious, and of course, witty. He'd drop jokes, nicknames, and stories about Snake Mountain (Caravelle kids in the 80's will remember) like it was nobody's business. It was always a joy to get together with Mr. A and his family. He was truly one of the greats and will be forever missed.
