Dear Dorothy & Family,
It has been a while, and the years have flown by, but Larry and I are truly sorry to hear of Al's passing. Great memories and good times are how we will remember "Uncle" Al, especially his infamous "bank runs". He was truly a genuine, fun loving man who has touched our lives. He will be lovingly remembered always. We sincerely wish you all the best and take comfort in knowing you have your family and friends to help you through this difficult time. Al will be dearly missed by everyone. We are honored to have known him.

To Dorothy & Family, I was sorry to hear about Al's passing. Tom Starck gave me a call earlier this week and Ken Durbin sent me the article from the Journal. I enjoyed many a time with Al at the Orchard and he was always glad to see me even though I haven't lived in the Falls for the past 30 years. We will miss him dearly and he will be in our prayers. Take care.

Hi Dorothy & Family,
I don't know if you remember me but I used to work at Froedtert with Dr Ritch. God sure blessed you with quite a character in Allen. He loved to make people smile. I still have my "Stool Sample" he made for me. I think of him every time I look at it and smile. May God comfort you in this time of loss, but just think of those who are smiling in heaven with him! Love Deb (Miller-Metcalfe) Nischik, got married!

Dorothy and Family;

I will always remember the smile Al gave me when we were at the Orchard Inn. May all your memories of happier times help you through the days ahead. Al was a wonderful person who loved a good joke or a good story. I will miss seeing him at the end of the bar. I'm glad I got to know him. Dorothy if you need anything, please don't hesitate.
