May his wonderful life be an example to all! Alvin, Jr. shared an beautiful video tribute with me celebrating his dad's 90th birthday; and it reminded me how important, precious and beautiful life and family are in this world. I'm so sorry I was not able to celebrate his life with you; but I'm sure the memories of his love will fill your spirits. Our thoughts and prayers remain with you now and always.

My condolences to the family of Al Roehr. We were classmates at Hughes High and graduated in 1943.We shared much in common including a love of music and Bearcat football and basketball. These interests allowed us to renew our friendship the past few years with coming and going encounters. I was fond of Al and he will be missed.

I knew Al over the years and will always remember him as happy, friendly and kind. I don't think he ever met a person he didn't like. He will be greatly missed by is many friends and family.

What a pleasure in my life to have worked with and been a friend of Al's. He taught me to "smell the roses" along the way as we worked at Bishopric Products on sales trips.

Al was always a joy to be around. We had many entertaining times together with our friends at Enerfab.
Chuck S, John H, & I were hosted for lunch by Al at Kenwood several months ago.
We had a good time reminiscing and recalling our adventures working together.
Brother Al, may you rest in peace. I hope there are some large Northern Pike in heaven.
