Al was a big junior hockey fan. He use to attend Josh and Michaels Flyers AAA hockey games and was a proud grandfather supporting our team in the stands. He was our #1 fan. Forever remembered. Nuke and Nuke Junior.

Al, a wonderful human being. Always kind and sometimes ornery. Many conversations held with him at the plant. Handed him his access badge every morning I was on shift. He always greeted me smiling and had a cheery remark for me. My condolences to his family and friends.

I will always remember Al driving the crane at PBAPS helping with our Radwaste shipments. An easy-going guy and always a favirite crane operator. May you rest in eternal peace my friend.
