Dear Petrie Family,

Please accept my condolences on the passing of your dad. I first met the Petrie family many years ago when two of the kids were in my summer camp at the Ollie. What wonderful parents Mr. & Mrs. Petrie were. God Bless all of you.

Al Petrie was one of a kind. His welcoming smile and infectious laugh! I have great memories of St. Patricks day visiting the Petries for spaghetti and meatballs. Such a fun wonderful family. Glad he is reunited with his love Chris, Gail and Bobby. Miss all of them too. Much love to the Petrie family.

Knew Al from the Veterans post and our two trips the World War II memorials where I was the nurse. Both times were a memorable experience. Always enjoyed our times at the Post with his gracious welcoming. Al was a faith filled man that was never afraid to display his faith . I'm sure he is enjoying his just reward in Heaven RIP Al.
