I attempted to sign the guest book while on vacation, out of the country, but it didn't work. I just wanted to tell the family that I knew Al for a long time and liked him a lot. He was one of the good guys. My sympathy to all.

Dearest Brent,
I'm SO SORRY I couldn't make it in to celebrate the wonderful life of your dear father. Please remember what a very wise Bahamian man told me at a time when I was very weak...the very air that you breathe through your nose is the breath of God. When those we love pass on, they become part of that breath. They are with God, and still with you.
Love you and Kelli very much,
Mikelyn

My mother (Agnes Molliere) and I worked for Mr. Bankston. He was a very gentle boss, and just a wonderful man. I remember his smiling face coming through the bindery department. He always spoke and always had a kind word to say. He will be truly missed by all who ever knew him. My mother (Agnes) says she remembers these things and more, all of the fishing trips they made to the camp. She is truly saddened by his passing also. May God bestow His peace and blessing on the whole family in your...

The world has lost a truly great man in the loss of Mr. B. He made working at BRP a wonderful experience. He and Mrs. Pattie's life together in marriage and in business are an inspiration to us all. The tears we shed are in rememberance of a great person and friend. May your good memories warm your heart and help you heal in this time of loss. Kevin, Jennifer, Dr. B. and especially Mrs. Pattie you are in my prayers for healing during this trying time. Love to you all.

I would like to offer my deepest regrets to the Bankston family. While working with Mr. Bankston sometimes we were like cats & dogs, but always we had a deep respect for each other. He was always good for a laugh, a tall tale, and a good fishing trip. Mr.Bankston's greatest love was his wife, children, and grandchildren.

Dear Bankston Family:
Condolences to the Bankston Family from the Claitor Family.
I was friends with Albert for 40 yrs or more, and it was always a pleasure to be around him. He spoke the truth directly, and it was never difficult to figure out what he meant, like it is with so many others.
He set a fine example...........and his example lives on in his outstanding children who contribute as good citizens in the mold by Albert and wife.
