I am still in shock after hearing about Al's sudden passing. What a great person, funny too! I will miss hearing his voice after I press 2# and talking to him about a lot of issues where we were both in agreement. He will most certainly be missed! My sympathy and prayers are with the family!

Al would always have a grin from ear to ear no matter how bad the his day was. The sun always

Al and I were best friends for many years. We spent a lot of time together growing up. I have so many good memories of the times we spent at Suedberg and just running around. He was the best man at my wedding. - I'll never forget you Al. I'm going to miss you my friend.
My condolences to Mrs. Thomas and the rest of the family.
