To the Kitlas family...Very sorry to hear about Al's passing. I had the opportunity to work with Al, both at Farm Credit Banks and T. Rowe Price. I also had the pleasure of playing a few rounds of golf with him. He was a good friend and colleague. My heartfelt thoughts and prayers go out to you during this difficult time.

To Joyce and whole Kitlas family,
The Myrtle Beach golf gang sends its sincerest condolences. Al was not only a member of our golf group, but he was a major contributor to the great times we spent together laughing and celebrating the good things in life. We will always cherish the memories we built together! We send our thoughts and prayers to you all hoping you can find comfort knowing Al is at peace.
We started a tradition years ago with the MB golfers that we pass to Al one last time - "At least he swung!"

Please accept my condolences on Al's passing. While I never worked directly with Al, we would occasionally chat at work. He was a very nice man who always had a friendly smile and a cheerful disposition. May he rest in peace.

So sorry to hear of Al's passing. I worked closely with Al years ago at T. Rowe Price, though not much recently. He was a genuinely nice guy and a pleasure to be around. All the best to the Kitlas family.

My condolences; Death of a loved one is never an easy thing to go through. Just remember you are not alone. Isaiah 61: 2 "...To comfort all who mourn" God is right here to help you.

Alex was such a sweet and funny man. He will be missed dearly , especially by my mom Henrietta. To Joyce and the girls , I am so very very sorry for your loss. He was too young and too special to have passed .
To Kenny and John, my heart aches for you. Losing a brother is a special kind of heartache only a sibling can understand.
May God's love assist you all at this time and in the future.
Love, Sheila
