My deepest sympathy for the passing of "Uncle Al", my Godfather. I will surely miss him. I regret not having been able to see him more through the years since we live so far away. I do have very fond memories of him. I have treasured the fishing gear which he gave me as well as his picture. I am sorry that we can't make it back to attend the funeral. God Bless.
