Dear Janie,
when I think of Al, I visualize that sweet smile he had. Always thought you two were the cutest couple. Remember going to the house you and Al
rented on Thomas Avenue. My prayers are with you Jane.

Hi Jane,
I just recently heard about Al. He was such a nice guy. He helped me with a financial issue I had with the San Diego Padres.
GOD's blessings for you and your family.

Jane & Family,
I was shocked to hear about Al. My deepest sympathy go out to your entire family. I played baseball at Baldwin High School a few years after Al, with his brother Gary. His Dad & mine formed the Connie Mack team & added a team from the Baldwin area. He was a great guy to be around and an inspiration to the younger players in the town. He definitely will be sorely missed by all who were lucky enough to have known him.

Jane, Beth and all your family, So sorry for your loss. I'll always remember your husband, dad, coming to meetings and events at S.B.B.. And of course the day he came in to Beth's class for career day. The kids and the teachers just loved him. He was so generous in sharing his World Series experience.
