Dear Theresa and family,
I heard today that Al had passed away. I was so sorry to hear. My children and I remember so well all the great times we had with all of your family when we were on 3rd St. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. My children are in IL and SC so I don't see them as often as I'd like. Al was a great friend to all who knew him. He will be sadly missed.

To Theresa and Family - It's a sad day for me to read of Al's passing. He and your whole family have always been so kind to me. I remember so many laughs at Mac's Bar listening to Al and his quick wit, or at the many family get togethers...Then just when you needed him to, he could offer some very real insight on life you could take straight to the heart. He was always so easy to trust and care for...just like the family he and Theresa created. I will miss him. God Bless,

To Theresa and the kids - my heart goes out to you with your loss of Big Al. He was my other dad growing up; I will never forget the fun times we had together. We could have all kinds of fun, but when it was time for Al to come home, kids became quiet or left. Theresa always had Al's steak and salad ready when he came home from the railroad - always! Al, you were a heck of a man and I loved you, barbi keck
