Not sure what to say?

My heartfelt condolences to Lois, Chris, Carey, & Allen´s grandsons. It saddens me deeply to say goodbye to one of the most special persons I´ve ever had the privilege of getting to know. I met & began working with Al shortly after his stroke. What he lacked in physical & functional capacity he made up for with an over abundance of motivation & drive. Al always displayed good, strong work ethics. He was extremely dedicated, always committed to our appts, & showed up giving nothing...

I worked with Allen in the "school house" at Dresden Generating Station. It was only two years but he impressed me with his brains and his wit. I think of him often.

Al and Lois were our neighbors for about 10 years. We loved them both very much. Al always had a joke and a smile! One day he came over and asked me, "Can Greg come out to play?" He took him flying in his plane. They had a great time together that day! Al will be miss by anyone that knew him and loved him!

Rest in peace, Al. It was great knowing you and working with you, particularly during the exciting time of construction and startup of LaSalle Station. That took a great Team and every one of us were essential. We would all like to do more, but our accomplishments are bigger than we remember. We all remember you with honor.

Rest in Peace Al. It was an honor to have known you and worked with you through the years. My condolences to the family. Peace and comfort through this difficult time. God Bless.

It was a pleasure to know and work with you. Fly high and free my friend.
