My late husband, Lanny Randolph, and Al were friends for a long time. Al cared for our cats. He was a great vet. He also helped with an injured raptor.

Patricia and family, so sorry for your loss. Al was such a good vet for my fur babies. More than that a good friend. My greatest memory is having you, Patricia and Al in my Evangelism Explosion class. You both made an impression on me as I saw both of you grow in the Lord and your love for Jesus. Al is now in the arms of Jesus. He fought the good fight and finished the race, he kept the faith. I love you and praying for you and your family.

Patty: My sympathy on Al's passing. Gone too soon. You were a great team at the Vet Clinic, taking care of our spaniels & Persian, with expertise (yet laid-back) approaches. Carla Culver: I remember Al's immense pride at Sarah's wedding. May you all be comforted by those good memories.

Patty and family, I'm so sorry to read of your loss. Al was my vet for many of my pets. Mostly my horses. He was so kind and gentle to them, they loved and trusted him. He was a very caring man. I was glad he got to retire, but we (my pets and me) sure missed him. Again, I'm sorry for your loss. Susan Sidwell
