May God bless you and your...

Mona & I only knew Al for a couple of years. He was very friendly & outgoing.
He & I enjoyed talking about aircraft since that was one of his great loves. It was with great pleasure that he was able to know that the SB2C that had been ditched in one of our reserviors back in 1942 was raised and taken back to an aerospace museum in Florida. This was an aircraft the he was in charge of on a carrier while in the Navy. We will miss him and his humour.
