Not sure what to say?





I will always remember Al as a sweet talented, unselfish and dedicated man who really cared and helped my family. Dad passed away in April this year and it has not been easy. Al is in good company with all who loved him and passed before. I believe that at the end of a good life we go to a better place. May his spirit lighten your heavy hearts through this most difficult time. Keep moving forward. Mom and I will try to come out and visit.

Please accept our deepest condolences.

The Palmer Family, Over many years(40+)of knowing the family, Al was a steading influence for his Wife and kids. He was involved in all of his kids projects and endeavors. He always had "time" for the friends the kids dragged home. I was one of those kids, Michael brought home. After getting to know his wife and his kids, and hearing the steady advise of love and respect, Al was then known as "dad" in my heart.

Take Care

God Bless you Al. I remember fifty years ago when he use to come to our house and repair our TV he knew we were not well off and did many things without charging my parents. A really great hearted man.
