Kathleen, Margaret & Alison,
We were very sad to hear of Alge's passing. We talked many times at the chicken ranch about his job, his family & his dog. We never met you guys but he loved you all very much. We witnessed his compassion towards his friends & fellow riders. We will miss him greatly. May God hold you all in his hands right now & help you through this difficult time. Rob & Linda Eargle

Kathleen and girls,
Kelley and I want to express our sympathy. Alge was a positive influence in my life. We always exchanged ideas about life and family and dirt bikes. There for a while he was a huge motivator in preparing for the MS150 bicycle ride. I could never do the ride but enjoyed training with him. He was a loyal friend and client. I picture him as being whole again and doing the things he loves to do in heaven. Jeff Harville-Olathe

Alge was my friend and fellow dirt biker for over 20 years.He helped me through a very difficult time in my life.
He not only visited me in the hospital,but often checked in on how I was progressing. Believe me, it was much appreciated and I will never forget it!
He was was a good buddy and a heck of a dirt biker, but when I think of Alge, I will always remember his exuberant laugh and his big heart.

Although we did not know Alge "personally," we felt like we knew him becuase I think that's how he would have wanted it. My family has only lived on "his" street for three years but it is long enough to know when something or someone is missing. He will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers to your family.

Kathleen, Margaret and Alison,
We have spent twenty one years of our lives, looking out our window and seeing the neighborhood friend and guardian. Alge always had a warm smile and a friendly wave, an encouraging word to keep exercising and a funny comment to brighten our days. Just knowing he was there provided us with a sense of comfort and we will miss him immensely! We hope each of you can soon find a sense of peace.

Kathleen, Margaret, and Ali,
Prayers are being said for you during this very sad time. Know that you have an angel in heaven that will watch over you. We will think of Alge---especially at Halloween time as he always dressed up to hand out candy to the kids when they were little. Ahhhh the memories. Cherish them.

It was such a shock when Chris called me tonight and told me of Alge's passing... I had just seen him outside a few days ago talking to yet another neighbor... We had such long conversations and had a lot of laughs... I had known the family since 1981 and watched his kids grow... He thought of Chris and Andy as his kids, always willing to help anyway he could... Poor little Levi will be lost without his buddy... My deepest sympathy goes out to Kathleen and the girls... The street will never be the same without him... I hope he has finally found peace... We will miss him dearly...
