Not sure what to say?

Nancy and I love Al and Carol. Fun dinners together in Florida. We all miss Al at our biweekly poker game. In addition, I always enjoyed playing backgammon with Al on our lanai.

May God keep Al and all his Knights in eternal peace...

Al , I am saddened to hear of your passing . We had great times together as roommates in flight school , our shared experiences in Vietnam and continued association after you retired and became a FedEx pilot and successful entrepreneur. While I hadn´t seen you in a few years , I enjoyed our email and occasional phone conversations . Rest in peace my friend . Semper Fi , Ed Schriber , Col. ret. , USMC

Al was a member of the National Championship Blessed Sacrament Golden Knights Drum and Bugle Corps of Newark, NJ. A great leader of young men serving in the drum line then drum major from 1958-`63. We were neighbors and college roommates and we, in the drum corps community, will miss him! RIP ol´ friend!

May God keep Al and his family strong now & in everlasting life.... Ron & Ann BSGK "60-63"
