My condolences to Al's family. Al was a good man, honest, caring and a good State Farm Insurance estimator for many years. Over the years I enjoyed having him on my staff. After his retirement we lost contact and was sorry to learn of his passing. God Bless him and look over the family on the dark days ahead.

When Al was in New Orleans, He was a neighbor. I remember him getting on the Public Transportation with his Horn. He was a member of the school band at St. Aloysius. I remember his family well. I have been to Novato many times but did not know he was there.

He Will Raise Him Up On Eagle's Wings,

Bear Him On The Breath Of Dawn,

Make Him To Shine Like The Sun,

And Hold Him In The Palm Of His Hand.
