Not sure what to say?

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Mr Johnson taught me at Northside Middle. He was such a king and fun person. His family is in my prayers.

So sorry to hear this news. He was a fine man and those of us who played for him were lucky to have him as a coach. With deepest sympathy to the family.

The Johnson Family,
So sorry to hear this news. Al was a great teacher, coach & athlete. I enjoyed my time at Northside coaching with him. I wish ya'll all the best in the days ahead. Will be thinking of you!

Robin & Family
May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief, and we want you to know we are here if you need us.

Vanessa,
May you find the peace to get through this difficult time and with time find comfort in the wonderful memories of your father.

I never got to know Al as much as I would have liked, but what I did know I was always impressed and inspired. He was a gentleman an a great athelete. Al came to Northside the same year I left as a teacher. I shall continue to pray for his family. My wife, formally Norma Nunley graduated from Jefferson with him.

Sincerely, Al Peverall

Robyn and Vanessa,
My heart goes out to you at this time and in the days ahead. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
