Andrew,

Even though he isn't with us right now, your dad is always here in spirit. He loved you very VERY much, and we all loved him. You had a wonderful dad.

For almost 15 years Al was like my little brother. Now, he's gone and I'm at a loss. We lost touch for a long time but I spoke with him a few months ago and never would have imagined this.
My deepest, deepest condolences to his family. Al was much loved here and he'll be sorely missed. He'll always be "Aldo" to me.
