I miss you so much Pop, I really hate having you gone.
I decided that I'm going to start biking at the parkway on my days off, and I really wish that you could come.
I LOVE YOU!!!

Hi Jennifer, I didn't know your dad, but I know you from all those years ago at the Canyon Racquet Club. George Lukacs sent me your father's obituary. I wish you and your family all the best and send my sympathy.

I'll always remember Al as a gracious man who enjoyed a good joke, a drink and a laugh. Tabby getaways and bike rides were his passion. His loved ones should all take solace in knowing that he lived life to its fullest on his own terms and is now resting peacefully in a better place.

Al will definitely be missed. Al was a breath of fresh air, always upbeat and generous with his praise of others. He was truly a man without pretense and a genuine friend.
