I was stationed at Valley Forge General Hospital where Al was a patient from Viet Nam back in 1966.
I was looking for him on the Internet and saw that he passed away almost 10 years ago. He was a
a guy I never forgot.

Karen---Chris and I are deeply sorry to learn of Al's passing. Many years at the Post Office and frequent visits at the V.A. Med. Ctr. have kept us in touch. His humor and honor to his country are great tributes to his memory. From early days at Little League, Menuette, Post Office and periodic meetings with families at La Bella Sicilia, Al will always be my friend. God Bless all of the Volat family---Jim & Chris DiPasquale
