I will never forget my Uncle Alfs approach to life, with his incredible sense of humor. I loved all the stories my dad would tell us of when Uncle Alf was a little kid. (very entertaining!) I still see him standing in Grandma and Grandpa Jasinski's covered porch, with my cousins Dale, Dean, Donn and Dane. He was always kidding, but I think he was also very tenderhearted. We will miss you!

Al was a great neighbor and friend always with something funny to say.
We will never forget him, but will miss him greatly. It was our priviledgeto have been a part of his life, just wish we would have known him longer. His loving devotion to his wife, Claire, was something very exceptional. He has made us better people for knowing him.

My brother Alf (as our family called him) was a unique, one of a kind person. We all think of his good humor, wit, kidding around, compassion and sensitivity. Lee considered him her 7th brother. My memories of him go back to his birth in our family home on Nordica Ave. in Chicago. Down through the years, whether in person or by phone, we always enjoyed our conversations with him, often going back to the old days with Ma, Pa and the family.

To say Al will be missed is an understatement.
He Amused us all on a daily
basis with his good cheer. He was my Abbott and I was his Costello. I envy his audience now! Rest in peace my good man.

Your laughter and sense of humor are really going to be missed. No matter how you were feeling you still cracked a joke or said something to make us laugh. You were a good man that was loved by so many of us. I pray for all of his family that you will all find peace in knowing how much he was loved.
Heres to you Al.

Memories of Uncle Al bring to mind thoughts of the laughter, jokes and teasing way he could bring humor to life during family occassions. The sparkle in his eyes with a witty remark will always bring back warm memories of times spent together from my earliest childhood memories in Sunnyslope to the smiles he brought forth from my mom as they reminisced about the past. Uncle Al brought joy to our lives and we hope he touched others in the same special way. We treasure our memories of him. Our thoughts are with Aunt Claire, his children and their families and we hope memories of Uncle Al will bring them comfort as they celebrate the life of a special man.
Love, Jeanette, Bill, Dave, Jeni and Eric Collins

Uncle Al was the one in our family that could make anyone laugh, no matter what the situation entailed. He had that gift, given to him from God. I will treasure the many memories that I have of his humor, love and devotion to his family. I pray that these memories are shared by all that loved him. My husband Reynolds, my daughter Tori and I, will miss him. We pray that God will comfort Aunt Claire and their children (families) during this time of sorrow, and surround them with his love. We CELEBRATE his life!!
Love, Elouise (Engnell) Smith
