Al was a special guy and a dear friend. His character was inspiring, as was his faith. I loved serving with him as an elder at Faith Lutheran Church and later serving him as his pastor. I cherish the hours we spent talking about history and many other things. God grant his family peace and comfort.

Mr. Wood was my most favorite substitute teacher. He was such a kind and caring man and one of the people who made me go into teaching. He will be greatly missed.
