Kristen, I never got the pleasure of meeting your dad but heard lots of great stories from you and other friends. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I have known Al for a few years now and the only thing I can really remember is his kind heart and personality. He IS loved and WILL be missed. My heart goes out to all family and friends.

For the past five years that I have known Al, He has been the start of every working day my shinning star. He would listen to the stories about my crazy next door neighbor and would always laugh with disbelief.

We always started our day with laughter, and many days ending the same. I will miss those times the most.
