Val & family: I just found out about Al
while looking up Sharon, MA on the internet. I miss Spencer so and when I think about Spencer, I think about Al. They were "true friends" in every sense of the word...now they are together again. Our prayers are with your family at this time. You are a great family & we are so thankful to have known you all. Take care.

Oh, Kafka Family! I just found out about Al. He was a friend when I was at my lowest ebb and despite my strokes, cancer,and worldly problems he remained so. If I were not grounded, I would come to see you all and personally express my grief at the world's loss. God bless.

Dear Ben and Family,

I was so very saddened to hear about Al's passing. There are few people that touch our lives in such a way that they remain in our hearts forever. These are the people who unselfishly give their time and go out of their way to help others in whatever way they can because they sincerely care about others. I will always remember Al, Bernie, and Milton for their caring and kindness and I will always be thankful that I met and knew them.

God Bless,
Cindy

Dear Ben and family,
It was with great sadness that I learned that Al had passed away. He was a great guy and I really enjoyed playing softball with him for so many years.
I'm so sorry!

Dear Val and Family -- Jean and I were so saddened to learn of Al's passing.
For me, ever since Al and I first met in the mid 1960s through our mutual work in connection with professional sports, it was a case of soon gaining one of the closest friends I'd ever know. And for both of us, especially more recently, it was so enjoyable joining with all of you for many of your very special family events. Knowing of your magnificently
strong support of Al during his health challenges in recent years, I marveled at the often silent but always courageous fight he waged to battle through them. To me, Al was unique, a special guy. We will be keeping him, and all of you, in our prayers. Jack and Jean Nicholson

It is with great sadness to learn of the passing of my mentor, friend, and attorney. My life would not have been as enriched without Al. Knowing that he will be in the celestial heaven above, I know that I will have a friend waiting for me when my time on earth has ended. He will be sadly missed, but at least I and you will always have the remembrances of the good times we had together.
