Al touched a lot of lives while working at Raytheon.
He would give of his own lunch hour to give extra help to others who were taking classes and needed extra help.

He also was very true to his beliefs and had a great
sensor of humor.

In those days Raytheon was a great place to work because of him and others like him.

I grew up in Cedarwood with the Finney's and remember Mr Finney as a great guy, a good family man who also enjoyed a good cigar. My condolences to all the Finney's, and I'm sorry I missed your Mom's passing. God Bless you all.

Dear family - so many wonderful memories that have shaped us. The sweet smell of cigars, delivering the Boston Globe in the back of a station wagon, a good laugh at the Muppets, late nights at Bike Park and the love of baseball.

Love is the most important thing in the world, but baseball is pretty good, too. - Yogi Berra

I worked closely with Al at Raytheon for many years and I remember he worked as a partner with us in a local accounting firm for a few years.
We enjoyed many gatherings socially and al's humor and personality was manifest many times. We enjoyed his companionship and will miss him.
May he rest in peace.

I just fund out and I am so sorry I missed the wake and the funeral. He was a great guy, very fair, vibrant and was very willing to give up his lunch time to help anyone with their college classes or problem.

Our whole department at Raytheon had some great memories of working with and for your father. They don't make them like him anymore!
