We have been fortunate to have Al and Ursula as our neighbors and friends for the last 21 years. We have shared adult beverages and posed in front of Al's "HUD DROP ZONE" as have so many others. We have stayed with them in Belgium. Al has fished with us in Colorado. Al is a man who has truly lived a full life thanks in part to the loving relationship he and Ursula shared. Ursula, we offer our deepest condolences. Know that you are always in our hearts.
