"Jana and Family, My deepest sympathies for your loss. Al has always been one of the most kindest, honest, and caring person I´ve ever met in my life. That goes for the sixty years that I´ve been blessed to call him my friend. I pray that you find comfort in knowing he is with the Lord now. God bless you. All my love, Mark Rokitka"
