Alphonzo Mance Sr.

Sure miss Al at McK and as a part of our small church choir. He had such special gifts. Love to Kathleen and the family.

As I sat during a virtual STEA meeting today, this reminder appeared. How timely. It is so hard to believe a year has passed since we lost Mr. Al Mance, Sr. Whenever he presented at any type of TEA function he could recite from memory poems, a stanza from a poem, the classical pieces, the lines from an old hymn, or some historical piece that needed to be brought to the attention of the audience. I was in awe and encouraged by his prolific skills. I still miss that today. He was God's...

Alphonso "Al" Mance was my Sunday School teacher and a wonderful friend and true example of a Christian. He was very kind and outgoing. He would stop in on Wednesdays when I made the beds for Room In The Inn and would always lend a much appreciated helping hand. It is hard to believe a year has passed since you left us.

So sorry for the loss of Mr. Mance. He was such a warm, pleasant person in my dealings with him over many years at his bank. I know he will be greatly missed by his family, his church, and all who knew him.

I will always love you.

Al was highly regarded and much loved during his time in New York. He was not only a consummate professional; he was a dear friend who gave me counsel that made a real difference in one of my son's life. As much as I know that we are aging, in my mind's eye Al will always be that young man who cared and gave so much. I am deeply saddened at his passing. Our sincere condolences to Kathleen, Ajuan and Alphonse.
