We are all so sorry to hear about the loss of Al. We all enjoyed talking to him when he called or came into Big League Barbers. He was always in great spirts and had a kind word to say. He will be greatly missed by all of the ladies at Big League.

My husband worked for Al at Pepsi. It was always nice to see him around there, even after he retired. He was always smiling and always happy. We were lucky enough to have seen him and his wife at the Grabill Fair this past September. He was one of the nicest men I've ever met. I know he is greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
With sincere sympathy, Amy Rouse

I only worked with Al for a couple of years, but I will miss seeing him every week. He was such a positive force and always talked with such affection and pride about his family, he was truly a joy to be around and will be greatly missed.
