Al used to serve witness subpoenas for Portland PD cases back in my D.A. days, and that had us working together often. He was quite a character - Al couldn't quite be whipped-up to a sense of urgency but he got it done. Because Al always liked to fill me in on his latest single malt scotch acquisitions, right up to the time he retired from the S.O., I think I'll savor one in his honor. Rest in peace, Al. It was a pleasure to know you!

Al and I were partners in the same cruiser with Portland PD during the late 1970's. Worked well together. Many a conversation about his collection of autographed photos and trying to stump each other with Jeopardy questions. A friend and colleague who will be missed. Condolences to his family and loved ones.

I served many years with Al on the PD. I'll always remember his smile and dry wit. One thing about Al, he was never in a hurry. Great guy. God Bless.

Al was always a great guy and thoughtful police officer. During my years as a PPD shift commander, I could always count on Al to represent the department well and with integrity. This was in no small part due to the leadership and mentoring of our then chief Francesco "Rocky" Amoroso. A chiefs chief.
