Not sure what to say?

Lots of good times and memories with Al. I will miss that laugh Al had and hearing his old funny stories he was a good and kind man you could trust! RIP my old friend you will be missed!

Lisa and family, so sorry for your loss. I loved hearing Uncle Al stories. Your love for him was evident right until the end. I'm sure he enjoyed the candy, chocolate pretzels and of course the donuts! You're in our thoughts and prayers.

Uncle Al, I have memories of you and Uncle Tom, plowing my Dad's store, and home. Plus the concrete you poured for our backyard porch, while my Mom and I stood by to watch.

Sending condolences and Love from the Greenbarg family

I miss you so much grandpa and wish I could of seen you and visited more often.
