Dear Sally, Please know that Merrill and I are thinking of you and your family at this time. Al was larger than life and had a positive lasting impact on so many. Merrill enjoyed working with him at Damascus and recalls that he was a quality math teacher as well as an excellent Coach. I have many memories having been with him at two schools! I hope that the many fine memories will sustain your family.Fondly, Ann Fisher
