Aunt Ginny, Diane & John, and Larry & Lori -- I just want to let you know how saddened we are to hear of Uncle Al's passing. I must tell you that just the thought of Uncle Al immediately brings a smile to my face. He lived his life with joy. And he absolutely loved his Orioles and Colts, something he shared with me many times, building up my own love for the teams and players as a kid. Uncle Al was a wonderful person. Please know that you and your families are in our prayers...Thom & Cheryl
