Our thoughts and prayers are with Uncle Al today as always. We couldn't have had a better "adoptive" Dad. Sorry we could not be there in person, Judy, but know that the wonderful man we all loved is at peace and having a terrific reunion with Mom, Dad and the rest of his family.
Love and God's Blessings to all who had the honor of knowing him.
