Dear Heather and Krista, it was my honor and privilege to participate in your father's ceremony today. He contributed a lot to our VFW Post 6401 and to our Bonner Springs community. He was a great friend I will truly miss him.

We are so sorry and surprised to see of Al's passing in the newspaper. Phil enjoyed his friendship in VFW and we enjoyed seeing him at most of the Bonner and Basehor high school basketball games. He will be missed by many friends in the community.

Somewhere a journey begins at the end of the worldly existence we know,
Somewhere a path stretches over the stars,and rivers of memories flow.
Somewhere a silence is heard faraway and the brightness of day fills the night,
Where the trials of life are resolved into peace when a soul finds it's way to the light.
He will be remembered.

Dear Heather and Krista, we want to send our sympathy and tell you that your father was so generous and thoughtful with N.D. tickets. Without his offerings we would never have had the opportunity to see so many games. He appeared always cheerful and eager to visit about the Irish. Dick and our son had the experience to go to with your dad, Al, and your grandfather to a game at the Air Force Academy. We are thankful for the memories and extend our sympathy.
