Nancy, I knew of Al at BW but came to know him personally at Northwest Airlines where we were both based in Detroit. He was a gentle soul and a very nice guy. I learned of his passing through the ALPA magazine. My sincere condolences to you and your family.

Nancy, my sincere condolences to you and family, will always hold fond memories of time spent with Al at ATO at BW college.

Dear Nancy
I am at a loss for words and wanted you to know how special Al was to me, He was the best neighbor I have EVER had. He was so generous to Chris and I and taught me a lot Like how to split wood or use a chain saw. If you need anything you have or number please feel free to call
Love Ed and Chris
