Al has touched so very many hearts and lives in ways that have made us think deeply, love one another, laugh, sing and grow in faith. His life among us was indeed a blessing that reached beyond those who knew him personally.

Al was a beautiful human being - way ahead of his time in the United Methodist Church for making drama and music an important way to reach people - especially young people - spiritually.
