Not sure what to say?

Just learned of Al's passing yesterday. Been quite a few years since I had last talked to him. We spent a lot of time together in our younger days golfing and bowling, traveling to many different states over the years for the American Bowling Congress National Tournament. Always brought our golf clubs along to get in a couple of rounds. Those were some great times with Al, Dave (Waldo), and Danny (Petrozzi). I can honestly say that Al was one of, if not the nicest guy, I've ever met. In all...

We enjoyed spending time with your family and I'm so sorry for your loss. JoAnn Curtiss

I don´t ever remember seeing Al without a smile on his face. He was a genuinely nice guy that will be missed by so many. Kathy, may God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

He was a true gentle soul, a...

Al was a great guy. I met Al & Kathleen while working on their flooring needs. After that, Al would stop in to our store as a courier. For years, Al was included in all of the small pools that I ran from golf, football and college hoops. He had a knack for being able to consistently win.

There was hardly ever a time when he didn't stick around for 10 or 15...

It was always a pleasure to see Al come to our offices making deliveries when he was working for Courier Express. Al was a kind, friendly man with a wonderful smile for all. Sorry for your loss. Employees of former Radiology and Imaging.

Thinking of you Kathy. I am so very sorry.

Kathleen, I am so very sorry for your loss. You are in my heart and prayers. Sandi Mauro
