Alan "Al" Bohland

Many may not remember in the 1960's when during a ferocious storm the concrete pillars on Thrifty Acres fell in bringing the roof down with it on the check out lanes.

Cheryl, Thank you for allowing me to officiate the Elks Lodge of Sorrow, it was an honor. Al was more then an Elk brother, he was a true friend over the years. He will be missed.

Cheryl
MY thoughts and prayers are with you

Cheryl,Julie, Greg, Bill, Carl, Lorie and families you have my sincere condolences in the loss of Al. May your many memories sustain you during this difficult time and may the Lord hold you in His loving arms and give you comfort.

I have many wonderful memories of Al during our years in the Elks and I can imagine the great reunion they are having with so many of our family and friends. Peace be with you now and forever.

Cheryl and family, it was sad to hear of Al's passing. It was a true pleasure to have work with him at Norton Shores but more appreciative of his friendship. Some very fond memories of coffee chats at the old DPW and after he retired. Rest in peace Al and my prayers and thoughts to Cheryl and family.

I am so sorry to hear of Al's passing. He was such a good friend for so many years! Lot's of good times together! My heart goes out to you all, Cheryl, Julie & Greg. Sympathy & Love, Donna Maycroft Schipper & husband Paul Schipper

After learning of AL's passing, many of our firefighters who knew him, are talking and treasuring the time spent with AL. It was an honor to learn that Al proudly served for 15 years on the Norton Shores Fire Department. On behalf of our entire department, we thank you for his service and we ask that you please accept our heartfelt sympathy during this difficult time.
