Uncle Al, Aunt Jean, Aunt Kay, and Uncle Frank always made us feel welcome when we were growing up. They were there for us when we had our bad accident on the PA turnpike and always seemed to know how to make us smile when circumstances were not good. Uncle Al even made a huge impression on my husband when we visited and my mom was "teaching" Uncle Al how to make homemade pierogi. We will miss his smile and sense of humor. Uncle Al touched many lives, ours included. Our sympathies are with all of his family.

I'm very sorry for your loss. I just now in reading your Dad's obituary learned of your Mom's passing also. I will always remember the fun picnics your parents had for the Our Lady of Charity gang! I pray that your family finds peace in knowing they are in a better place.

We were very sorry to hear about Uncle Al. We have so many warm, wonderful memories of Uncle Al and Aunt Jean over the years. We always remember him to be smiling and happy every time he visited our family's home in Lincoln Place. He had a great sense of humor and always treated our whole family warmly.

Kip remembers the first time he met Uncle Al and Aunt Jean and how they immediately welcomed him into the family.

We offer our heartfelt sympathy to your entire family.

With our love and affection,
Karen(Michaliszyn) and Kip Panko

I'm so sorry for your loss. My dad got to know Al when he was the manager of the Brookhaven Post Office. I seem to remember something about the contract for the jeeps. Al's honesty and integrity are what led to our family being customers to this day. May you find comfort in your memories of him and in his positive impact on our community.
