Dear Sandy, Lynn, John, Mina, Kevin, Eddie and Robert. we are deeply sorry for your loss. I remember as a kid your dad had the biggest and hardest hands I have ever seen. I always remember the smell of fish from his pick up truck after a hard days work. I remember your cookout on 5th street and your dad giving us ice cream from his own cooler. I thought that was the best thing ever. Also, The St. Pat's party's at your house on K street were the best. Thank you Al, for the wonderful memories. May you rest in gods loving arms.

Dear Ferent Family,

I am so deeply sorry for your great loss. It's so clear to see how much Al loved you. All of my memories of him are with his having the biggest smile on his face, and those baby blue eyes twinkling. He was so happy every time I saw him. I know he was also a very hard worker, too. What an incredible person. I am truly heartbroken for you at this painful time. I love you all dearly and am keeping you in my heart.

To Adrianne and family - so very sorry to hear of your uncle's ( more of an older brother's) passing. Hope the memories - especially with your sense of humour, are comforting. Bob Burton
