Dear Sandy, Bev, David, Don and the brothers and sisters of Al. I share your sorrow in Al's death. He was a good man who worked hard in his life; he dearly loved his family and shared a special bond with his siblings. As Rosa and Pete gather their children home I think they're having a get together similar to the ones they had at farm on Christmas Eve, complete with the jelly rolls. My love and prayers to you and Al. Charlene Droste

I am so sadden to hear of Al's passing. I met Al several years ago at the Blendon Senior Center; he could also make you laugh. And then two years ago I had the privilege of becoming his neighbor.
My thoughts and prayers are with my many family and friends.
