Mary Ann and Tina..I'm an old friend of Al and Mary Ann. We lived across the street from them back in the late sixties.

I never forgot those wonderful times with such great people.
Just heard of his passing. A great, kind and generous person I will always remember. With love and sympathy Bonnie...

Tina so very sorry for your loss. I worked with your husband at the Capitol records branch in late 1963 to mid 1964 . Remember so very well when we heard the music of I want to hold your hand. My prayers and thoughts go out to you.

Tina, I only knew him briefly but his generosity and kindness was very
special. A round of golf that I will cherish in my mind. I love you and your
family. Thanks, Jim H, Clark

Good morning, Tina. We are so sorry to hear the news of Al's passing. He made such a positive impact on the lives of so many enthusiastic young music performers and executives during the years we were privileged to work with him. And we had great fun away from the office, too...especially on the links! And Amy asked me to be sure to tell you that she sends her love from Virginia, too. The Smith clan will make a donation to St. Michael's today, as your family has requested.

Best...
