Dear Family,
I just saw notice of Al's passing in the Sewanee magazine. Al became a good friend of our family when he lived in Albany, GA and attended St. Patrick's Church, where my husband was rector. We loved his kindness and wry sense of humor. We stayed in touch at Christmas for many years. I am sorry for your loss.
