My deepest sympathy. AL and I go way back. He was one of the coolest to work with back in Boeing Security. He is appreciated to the max for everything. He was the best range instructor when we qualified with the weapons. He took care of the patrol vehicles when no one else stepped up. He always had your back...no matter what. He was a good friend, and a true brother in arms. He loved his family more than anything in this world. God bless you and your whole family Lisa. God bless you Big Al.... you are loved bro.

I am so sad to hear of Allen's passing! He came to Darrington shortly after he became a reserve Deputy and Kermit and I met him. We instantly liked him and nick-named him "Baby-Cop"! Great guy. Praying for his family's comfort.
