To Colleen & Aunt Millie, please accept my sincere condolences. Wayne & I loved Uncle Al very much. We loved his stories no matter what they were about. It could be about the military, his service as a fireman or just plain stories about his life. He will be missed by all who knew him. He & Wayne are in heaven comparing notes about who "caught the biggest fish". Love to you all, Mary
