J. Albert Puma

Wearing my tee shirt from the Queens Half Marathon, April 10, 1994 today made me think of Al. We were New York Road Runner Club race friends: I was on the Board of Directors and Al was full of ideas for new races and how to improve the current ones. But the reason that this particular tee shirt made me think of Al is that we started this race together-two times around a quarter-marathon loop. About a half mile into the race, there was a fairly long, but not too steep, hill. I was going to...

Elyse, what a beautiful obituary! I'm thinking of you. Perhaps Al & Per will now meet in heaven! Much love, Annette

Eleanor and Elyse

Eleanor and Elyse,
Memories of love and friendship are treasures to carry with you always. Take comfort in knowing that Al and Richard are together now, watching over both of you. That is quite a job! They'll certainly be busy. Our family holds you safe in our hearts at this time of sadness.
Mark, Fredricka, Frank, Roman, Wills, Marko and Pierce

Eleanor and Elyse...It is hard to understand why people are taken from us, but find comfort in knowing that you two were the most special part of Al's well lived life. Hold on to your memories and let them guide you during this sad time. Together now, Al and Richard are watching over you both.
God is always in your corner at a time like this-and so am I. Fondly, Fredricka

Heartfelt condolences to my Aunt Eleanor and cousin Elyse on the death of Uncle Al.
