Not sure what to say?

Winnie, so many memories of Al and you since I was a kid in the '50s and you were friends of my folks, Henry D. & Mariana Rempleon to the 2000's when I returned to Lawrence more frequently and renewed our friendship. Al and Henry D. shared WWII experiences but didn't go into any details, did they. They made up for their absences at home during the war years by contributing to others the rest of their lives. Deepest condolences for your loss.

Al's kind caring gentle spirit was infectious and transcended age, gender and race. He was blessed with an incredible gift...the ability to be completely present with whom ever he came into contact.
My heartfelt sympathy goes out to Winnie, Nancy, Cindy and the Gallup extended family. He will be missed but not forgotten..

Winnie, I want you to know that your husband Al was an outstanding gentleman. I always enjoyed being around him at Northwestern Mutual gatherings over the years. God Bless you. Joe Hart--Pittsburg, Kansas

My sincere sympathy to Winnie and family. It would be very hard to find a nicer man than Al, and the best ever neighbor for many, many years. Rest in peace, Al. Heaven just got a wonderful admission.

Well we have lost one of the two 'Freds' and must turn our attention and love toward Winnie and the family at this time. Al was a fantastic person. Astute at understanding and listening and had a great clarity of thought. Truly one of the great and considerate men in the world. His daughters are also fabulous as you might expect of the marriage of Al & Winnie.

We have all lost a gentleman and a gentle man. I have always loved and admired, Al. He was a dear, dear man with a ready smile and kind words.
My sympathy goes to you, Winnie, your daughters, and all your family.I pray that wonderful memories will help ease your sorrow. Love, Mary Gordon
