I was so sorry to hear about the death of your dad. I'm sure your dad had a hand in modeling behaviors that shaped the special person that you are – You have shared lots of stories about your family and I'm hoping that the good memories will be a comfort to you while you grieve this loss. Know that I'm keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

Al, (as we all knew him)¦ was a very dedicated and hard working man. Though we never really got to know him as a person (because he would never even take 5 minutes out of his work day to make small talk, not wanting to waste his time on the clock), we all knew him as a very dedicated and hard working employee. Al would work like clockwork; never complaining about anything. Everyone knew what time Al would be by their unit to do his nightly duties. He would not stop working to talk or to even grab a cookie on the nights the nurses would bring in food (although, I did get him to take one with him one time), but he would always have a pleasant grin and a friendly "Hello" when spoken to. Rest in peace Al, we all miss seeing you in the halls. ~ The Nursing Staff at TAMC
