Joan, it's been a while, but nothing has dimmed in our memories of sitting on the faux beach (you know where) and hearing him tell us how you made him a success in the life you also "saved". Our hearts go out to you.
Best, Perry and Betsy

Joanie, I am sitting here with my Joni and we just found out about Al´s passing. Looking back over the last 50 years of knowing Al I always knew that he was there to help guide me with my roof consulting business. A trusted friend for sure. Joanie, we love your sweet spirit and hope we can get together in the near future. My best to you and the family. Jim Tasso

To Joanie, Richie and Elissa, I was so sorry to just hear of Your life´s partner and your Dad´s passing that I wanted to extend my sympathies and to express what a thoughtful and wonderful person he was. A super salesman, a very knowledgeable roof consultant but most of all a friend who listened carefully, enjoyed people and loved his family. He will be missed by us all. Sandy

Words will not wipe away the tears and hugs will not ease the pain but we will hold on to the memories as they will always remain. Our memories of Al was that he loved life, loved his family, was very smart and had a great sense of humor that always made us laugh. We will hold onto these memories. He will be sorely missed.
With our deep respect and love.
