I knew Al from Hoover Jr. High. He was decent guy, always with a goofy grin. In the halls of the shop class or the team-teaching, we'd yell, Kieffeeerrrr!

I can´t remember a time that Alan wasn´t smiling. It wasn´t hard to get him laughing. The world will be a sadder place without him. You are all in our prayers for strength at this difficult time.

Probably the best memories that I have of our time with Al is camping. We have had some wonderful summers at camp. The stories that were told around the campfire Ooh boy were interesting. He was always one to joke around and had fun doing it.
