Al was always loved by our family, and always had a good fishing story (and the winning catch to prove it). His patient and kind spirit will be in our hearts forever. Al, you were always a big part of our lives. The many years that you worked the land, and enjoying the great outdoors will be how we remember you. You were so much fun for us kids as were were growing up. You loved us and always had a big heart and a sweet smile.We will see you in heaven!
