Berneice, You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I have so many wonderful memories of Mr. Cichon having worked for him for 23 years. Witnessing first hand the love he had for his family and how he enjoyed life. I sincerely enjoyed our conversations on so many, many different subjects. We had solutions to all the problems in the world. I am blessed to have continued the friendship after his retirement and am grateful I recently spend time with him reminising of the old days at Shamrock Finance. He will truly be missed. God Bless His Family & Friends. Rita Meza

Al was a part of the Coppini Plein Air group a few years ago when it was going strong and he was a valued member of the group. We appreciated him sharing his wonderful ranch as a place to paint out and his generosity in sharing. He was a valued part of the Coppini and his friends there will miss him.

To the members of the Cichon Family,
I first met Al as a competitor in the Finance business back in the 1970's. I enjoyed learning more about Al as an artist, rancher and as a sucessful business owner. I would ocassionly stop by his office or talk to Al on the phone about a mutual customer. From a business point of view, you could always depend on what Al told you. I switched to another type of business in 1990 and lost contact with Al. It was a pleasure for me to have known Al. May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyous times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Berneice,
Thank you for sharring Al with the Coppini for so many years. He was a joy to have, and found friends and art challenges to keep him young. He was so generous to everyone. He will be memorialized in our records for decades to come.
Janice Hindes, current President of the Copini Academy of Fine Arts
