Al will also remain in my heart as as a very special soul. He was always there for me and my family. I learned so much from Al and Alice as they tought me to be the successful property manager that I became. Al was tough on me when he needed to be and gentle at the same time. I wish I could tell you some stories for I have so many wonderful memories! You always had my back and I felt secure and safe with you! I have so much love and respect that is beyound words! I am blessed for having the chance to have him in my life! Many prayers to you Alice and with deepest condolences from my entire family.

I am so saddened to hear of Al passing. To me he was a one of a kind fellow. Every chat with Al was enlightening. If I had a broker related problem/issue Al was my first choice for guidance. Never one to be non-commit
tal - what a straight shooter. Alice you have my condolences. May Al rest in peace.
