Ester and Family
I don't know you all personally but I heard some good things about you all from Al. Al was a good man, I enjoyed working with him at the IRS. I only knew Al for nine years working at the IRS. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family at this time. Al will always be remembered at the IRS as a good and hard working man.

Esther and family,
Since I left the IRS, I seem to have lost touch with most of the people I worked with out there. But I will always remember Al as he was the one who "broke-me-in" on most of the jobs that I moved around to while working in FM there. So sorry to hear of your loss. Feel free to get in touch with me.
