Our deepest condolences to Rose and family - we were out of town right after hearing about Al's death. It seems like we knew Al for decades both at Cal Poly and in his active community service life. So soft spoken yet everyone listened because Al always had something relevant and important to say. He will be missed dearly - a Mr. Rogers for our neighborhood.

He always displayed the utmost of respect towards...

My thoughts go out to you Rose and family. Although I didn't know Mr. Amaral well, I do remember him as a caring father when Fred was in my class in elementary school. I am so sorry for your loss.
