Al was a wonderful father. I am a childhood friend of one of his children, Pam. Pam and I were high school friends and I remember many great times at her home. With my deepest sympathy to your family, may he rest in peace. Carol King ( florida)

I send my deepest sympathies and condolences to the Camire family in dealing with their loss of Al. After reading his bio, I have to say "Thank You" to Al for his contributions to the greater good of society. Not only did he make huge sacrifices in the military for our country, but he also fought for workers' rights as well. He has made the world a better place for many people, and his legacy will live on in all the lives that he touched. May God bless the Camire family, and help them find hope, strength, peace, support, and encouragement during this difficult time.
