Not sure what to say?

Al's sense of humor was as dry as the Gobi desert. I miss him!

I miss that droll and dry wit of his delivered in such a quiet way that if you didn't pay attention, you might miss it!

Knowing Al Rosser and his art brought a whole new dimension into my life. I will long treasure my memories of Al's gift for art, his unique Al-isms sense of humor, his appreciation of life and living, and the two paintings I purchased. Shellie and Jill, you are two extraordinary daughters.

I would like to express my condolences to the Rosser family. I am sure your hearts are broken over the loss of a person so close to all of you. I have several pieces of artwork by the talented Alvin Rosser. You will miss him as his family. The public who admire his talent and work will miss him too.

I have an abundance of memories from the 21 years Al and I taught art at Sparta Jr High School and the lasting friendship. I want to express gratitude for both.
With kind regard for Shellie and Jill,

Such an accomplished man with, apparently, a wonderful sense of humor as well. My thoughts and prayers are with you Shellie and Jill. Never easy when our parents pass away. I'm glad you had him in your lives for so long.

Shelley and Jill, my condolences on the loss of your father he was an amazing man who stories were always wonderful and descriptive and I very much enjoyed a lot of his storytelling. he always reminded me of my mom in that way. He also let me help with the bees. He was definitely a man of many talents. He even made the bees talk......Love to you and the family. Cookie (aka Irene Flanagan Milstead)

Have very fond memories of Mr. Rosser, who was my 8th grade art teacher at Sparta Junior High in during the 1973-74 school year. He was kind and helpful and I can picture him now with his thick head of hair and wearing a light brown corduroy sport coat. He provided a calm, welcoming environment for us in a neat classroom that always had the shades open to let the sun in.

I am so sorry to hear of Mr. Rosser's passing...sending much love and comfort to his family. Mr. and Mrs. Rosser were two of my most favorite teachers growing up in Sparta. It was so nice to learn more about both of them here, two true treasures.
