Not sure what to say?

Rest in peace Alan. You are missed but we know you are in a far better place now. Until we meet again.

I'm sorry to hear that Al passed away. I used to date one of his stepdaughters years ago and he was always nice to me. I actually saw him and Cheryl at Wal-Mart in my town (Lisbon) a while ago. I had no idea he was ailing. He will be missed by all. Prayers go out to the whole family.

My heart, mind & arms are always open, Dad. Just letting you know, in case you decide to sneak down from Heaven for a minute. I could really use one of your hugs right now...

To my Uncle Al. Our time together when I was a young man cutting wood included many moments of laughter and a bond that will always have value throughout my journey. You taught me respect and dignity to which I reflect everyday of my life. A swig of beer to you Uncle Al. Our memories will continue forever.

Your loving nephew,
David
