Am just reading today of Al's passing. Sincere belated, condolences to family and loved ones. I'm sure my sports teammates at PHS (and all who knew him) will agree with me that Al was the kindest, most caring, and giving, as a person could be. Rest in peace, Al; you surely deserve it!

I didn't see this until Betty Jane called me this morning. Rita, Katie and Lynsey please accept my most sincere sympathy in the loss of Albert! I knew him since he was born! We lived next door to the Abbotts for years. This was a shock!
