Please accept our heartfelt condolences Susan. Many of us who worked with him will have such fond memories. He was a very giving person and MOST of the time was the voice of reason. You're all in our thoughts and prayers.

He will be missed. I remember when his friend at Melling was injured and when they took the man out he asked "can I have your lunch". That was Al. Love the man, and you too Susie. Hugs.
