He was my poppy. He was more than my poppy. He was my best friend. If he didn't call me my name he called me buddy. He called me pal and that's what we were. Buds and pals.
I always loved when I wud go downstairs at Uncle Brian's to the basement and he'd be sitting there towards the tv betting the ponies and if someone said hey Patrick he'd always jump up and say he buddy or hey pal how ya doing ol buddy.
One thing I remember was the last thanksgiving we had together I called him horsey we both cracked up then and the christmas party. When I was little he'd always pick me up. Another thing I loved was how I could ask him anything and he would no the answer. He was always inteligent. And there is so much more that I can't put into words
He was my bud. I was his pal.
He was my poppy and I loved him
Gram, we will always be there for you.
I love my poppy.

Stretch was my best friends best friend. Al always treated me like one of his kids, something I will never forget. He always made me feel welcomed in his family and I know that was just a tiny part of the love he felt for Kay and his kids. I will miss him and feel honored to have known him. When I think of "Big Al" I think of Christmas parties, Hawaii 5-0 in Brigantine and Notre Dame at Devines. Thinking of all yuz guzs Billy

Dear Mrs. Daley, and kids We were extremely sorry to hear about Mr. Daley. I don't know if you remember , but I used to visit your house as a eucharistic minister for your Mom, but I knew Mr. Daley,
and your family many, many years before . Mr. Daley was always the nicest, happiest, and friendly man in our neighborhood, and he loved Notre Dame to boot, so we were bosom buddies. I have been sick recently, and just home from the hospital, or else, I would have liked to personally pay my respects today, but I was unable to do it. Know that you and your fine family are in our prayers, especially , Mr. Daley. Kevin Downs & Family ( Swarthmore Woods, formerly 72ns street SW Philly.

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of such a wonderful man. I worked with Al at Kemper, and he always kept us entertained with his many humorous stories. Most of them involved a place called Devine's. He always talked so lovingly about his family. He was so proud of each and every one of you. He never missed an opportunity to show us pictures of the grandchildren, and how big they were all getting. He also talked so fondly about all the great times he had with the family at the Jersey shore, and all the fabulous trips/cruises the kids gave him and Kay as presents. The love of his life was Kay, and it was obvious that they shared a wonderful marriage.
The world has certainly lost a wonderful human being. He will be missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.

He welcomed me into his wonderful family with open arms and embraced me in. It has been my honor and privilege to have had Al as my Father in law, but I like to refer to him as Dad because he always made me feel like I was one of his own children. That's how he was. I truly will miss our talks around Devine's although Al loved to repeat the same old stories, they never got old to me. He made me laugh just watching how exited he would get watching his horse races,and you could never get Al to change his mind no matter what, Al had to go with the faves. I will truly miss those times with him and most of all I will just miss him. I thank him for being my dad and my friend. Ill see you at the races. Love always your Daughter in law, Shell (Doll Baby) :)

Dear Kay, Kevin, Donna, Lori, Col, Stephen and Brian,
How can I possibly express my sorrow, sympathy and sadness. Big Al was more than just my next door neighbor, he was, as I would jokingly say, one of my "Best Friends". I will miss him more than words can ever say. When my dad died a friend of mine quoted this saying she read off of a grave stone in Ireland, it went:
"Death leaves a heartache no one can heal.
Love leaves a memory that no one can steal."
I think that pretty much sums it up. I love you guys and pray that Al is now finally resting in peace.

Who's going to buy soft pretzels or make me tea and french toast when I come over from New Jersey? I'll never forget the sight of Al in high heels and lipstick when we were on the cruise. Heaven's gain is our loss. Thanks for the memories, Al. How lucky am I to have friends like you and Kay.

What a neighbor, and he loved to cook on the grill,when I would come home after work I would go out back there would always be a buger or chicken leg for me.Thanks for for all the backdoor memories.

My Poppy was loved by many and will be missed by all. No one can make a bagel like him and i will surely miss all of his stories. "When I was in the Army, my cooking killed more Americans than the Germans did" He used to tell me. He had a special name for everyone (Butch, Queen, Duke, Prince etc..) and if he didnt it would be Doll-Baby, Buddy, or Pal. He could always make you smile.
I love you Pop.

I was so sorry to hear of Al's illness and death. He was a nice man. I worked at Kemper and remember Al coming into the office with a box of donuts. My sympathy goes out to his family. At least he is at peace and his suffering is over.
