Bob and Family,
I'll always remember Al for his friendship with my Dad. They were true buddies down the Cape. Cotuit will ever be the same. He was laid back and full of knowledge. His trips to my house in Maine "with the lads" will always bring a smile to my face. He loved singing the " Old Standards/Tunes". Nancy Caitlin, Christopher and myself are so sorry for your loss.
