My dear friend Al,
I miss you so much now more than ever! Not a day went by after I left Purity Oats and moved to Arizona that you were always in my thoughts and prayers!
I will never forget the days I worked with you and shared many laughs and many wonderful memories! You always made me smile no matter how bad things got. It was tough to move away from all my friends but we still kept in touch which I will treasure always. I used to love talking smack about the Vikings with you...

I just want to express my sincere condolences to the Hames family. I'm very sorry I only met Uncle Allen when my mother, Frances Drafts passed, but I do remember he and my mother were very close. They shared many fond memories and laughs over the phone. She was crazy about Uncle Allen! I'm going to miss his email jokes as well. May peace be with you all during this very sad time.
Love,
Monique

Uncle Allen will be greatly missed.
I'll miss all of the funny emails he used to send. He was a tremendous help to my family and especially my dad when my mom, his sister, Frances passed two years prior. We'll never forget him. Rest in peace.

My condolences to the Hames family. I'm going to miss all those emails Uncle Allen would send me and the little trash talking we would have when the Giants would play the Vikings. He helped me a lot when he came to N.Y. for my mothers funeral his sister, and i will always remember him for keeping a smile on my face during that time. My mother named my middle name after him. He will be missed big time in my heart. I love him and miss him. To Aunt Mary, i have you in my prayers.
