Uncle Al you will be missed. You always made me laugh and I loved to sit and listen to the stories that you and Grandpa would tell. I am happy that you are with him again. Please hug him for me. Aunt Judy my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Uncle Al today as always. We couldn't have had a better "adoptive" Dad. Sorry we could not be there in person, Judy, but know that the wonderful man we all loved is at peace and having a terrific reunion with Mom, Dad and the rest of his family.
Love and God's Blessings to all who had the honor of knowing him.
