Dear Gotwols Family,
I just heard of Al's passing. I knew Al through business for about 30 years. He first called on me at Olivetti in Harrisburg. He was an adviser and friend all the years I was with Oberg and later on my own in the Carolinas. He was a mentor,a friend, a shoulder to cry on and one very funny guy. He will be missed.
