Ronnie, I'm sorry to hear about Uncle Al. He was such a quiet man. Aunt Rose and he were quite the couple. I'll always remember them driving up to our houses in their big, old (I think) cars and every one of them had a curb feeler. God Bless them both.

Uncle Al and Aunt Rose were always so nice and loving to my family. My kids remember them both and we still talk about them often. I'm so sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you all.

When I was much younger, sometimes I would ride "shotgun" on his midnight trips to Milwaukee for Sears. He was always kind, always interested in what you were up to. Years later when we were together he loved to talk about trucks, how they had changed since his days at Sears. He surely will be missed.

When we think of you, we remember the "wonderful, kind Spirit that you always possessed." We knew you to be such a sweet and kind person who loved his family deeply. God decided to call you Home........what a meeting that had to be!
Our thoughts and Prayers go out to all of your family who love and miss you so very much.
Bless you, Louie and Mickey
