This comes a little late I know that's because I didn't know. Al was my best man on February 29, 1964. He introduced me to the love of my life Nina. I met him in the mail room in General Motors in 1960. We took a road trip that year to Florida. He left GM to go on tour the NYPD. I will never forget him, he played a big part of my life. Rest in peace dear friend.

WELL, IT'S WEIRD THE FIRST THING I DID JUST NOW WAS EXHALED, YET IT WAS FOLLOWED BY A SMILE. MY HEART IS BEATING FAST AND IM SITTING DOWN. "WHAT UP AL" AS I OFTEN SAY MANY DAYS OF THE WEEK. IT SEEMS DIFERENT AT TIMES BECAUSE I WISH YOU WERE HERE. I FEEL AS IF I OWE YOU SO MUCH MORE, RESPECT AND LOYALTY GOES A LONG WAY WITH ME. RESPECT AND LOYALTY IS WHAT YOU GAVE ME. WHEN I REALLY THINK ABOUT IT I GOT TO KNOW YOU ON THE BOTTOM LEVEL OF YOUR TRUE SELF. I THINK NOW ABOUT THE TIME YOU LAST WENT OUTSIDE ON THIS EARTH, WHEN I ASKED IF YOU WANTED TO GO OUTSIDE AND I ALREADY KNEW YOUR ANSWER. I KNOW THAT YOU WANTED TO DO THINGS ON YOUR OWN, WHICH I DON'T BLAME YOU... BEING A MAN MYSELF I UNDERSTAND THE PRIDE FACTOR. YET AS TIME WENT OWN YOU ALLOWED ME TO HELP, JUST AS I ALLOWED GOD TO HELP. SO WHEN YOU WILLINGLY ALLOWED ME TO TAKE YOU OUTSIDE AND FOR ME TO SEE THE JOY IT BROUGHT YOU THAT WAS A GIFT. NO MAN CAN TAKE THAT FROM ME. WELL YOU TOLD ME THAT DAY YOU WEREN'T SCARED, BUT HERES A SECRET, I WAS. BUT THANKS FOR BEING STRONG DUDE... THANKS. TIME HAS PASSED SO FAST YET SO SLOW, I WRITE THIS IN MEMORY EVEN THOUGH WE TALK OFTEN. YET I SAY THIS FOR ANYONE TO SEE, SORRY IF I EVER MESSED UP, BUT THANKS FOR LETTING ME BE THERE FOR YOU AND TO CHILL AND REALLY GET TO KNOW YOU. I'LL REMEMBER OUR TALK AT BREAKFAST I HAVE SPOKE ABOUT IT MANY TIMES TO OTHER PERSONS, WHICH IT HAS TOUCHED THEM AS WELL... BALLS... IT JUST TAKES BALLS. SEE YOU AT THE CROSS ROADS. LOVE ALWAYS.
HOLLA,

Well.............today marks one year since you left us. I know you're not really gone, but there are still times I wish I could see you and talk to you just so I could be sure that you're really okay now. I've kept my promise to you and I have moved on. This was by no means an easy year. I never realized just how tough it would be. I thought I was prepared but I know now that you never can be prepared for something like this. Sometimes it still takes my breath away when I realize that you really are gone, yet most of the time I just hold onto the sweet times and memories, so many memories. I think you would be happy with where I am now and I thank you with all of my heart for loving me the way you did because that was what made me able to move on and search for and find happiness again. I know you're always with me and I know you're smiling down happy with where I am now. I told you that last day that I would be okay and I want you to know that I am. I'm safe and very loved and always know that so are you.

It has been a year since Al left us and I still can't find words to describe the joy and happiness he brought to my family. Even though Al isn't here anymore, he is still someone who can makes me smile everytime I think of him. Al is the person who touched my family in a way that I did not think was possible at first. Because of him I truly believe in miracles now. I will always miss Al but I remember that the one thing he always did was make his dreams come true. He made so many dreams come true for my family and me and I am so thankful that he was a part of my life. We love you Al and you will always be remembered as someone special.

Al has been gone for just about one year now, but his presence lives on with my family and I. I still wonder what it would be like if he was sitting right by my side like old times, but I know that his spirit is like the wind.. I can't see it, but I can feel it. I have and still will always carry his spirit on with me. I love you, Al- I can't wait to see you again.

Well tomorrow is a year now since you left us. A year full of sadness, happiness and memories, so many memories. I have moved on as you wanted me to and am finding happiness and laughter again. It wasn't an easy transition, but I've done it for you as I promised you I would. You were so full of life that I could never dishonor your memory by being anything but what you wanted me to be. I often wondered how people could just go on when they lose someone they loved so much, but I've learned that living life with joy is the greatest gift and tribute I can give to you. Thank you so much for everything you ever did for me and know that I'm trying to do things now that I believe you really wanted done. You brought me to this place in my life where I am now and somehow I just know that this is where you wanted me to be. I often feel you with me just as you promised you would be and I believe that you would approve very much of the life and people I'm with. They know everything about you and your name comes up all the time in conversation as we laugh and remember. You will always be such a sweet part of my life and I thank you with every fiber of my soul for being the beautiful, beautiful human being that you were. You've been a year in Heaven now and I know that you've got everybody just rolling with your corny jokes. Continue to watch over my family as you do and thank you for the love you gave us all.

Al was the only person I ever knew that could put a smile on my face when I felt like tomorrow wouldn't come. He gave everyone a sense of happiness that they could hold in their heart. They say nobody is perfect and I believed that until I met Al, and now he can soar over my famly and I, with his wings and his heart. He will live on forever and I will never ever forget the joy that he brought into my life.As a friend and as a father. Al, I miss you and I hope to see you when i make my way up there to the heavens. You were truly a beautiful angel on earth, and now in heaven. I'll love you forever.

My Pal Big Al,
What can I say, I think words can't express how I truly feel about you. Since I didn't get to finish the poem I had in store for you I will finish it now.
My Pal Big Al forever in my heart
To learn is life and you taught
from the start
I will always remember what you
told me
My only hope is that I will succeed
Few have the gift, to fly so swift
Few have the touch that loves much
You my friend had them both
Now I will run through the jungle,
Swift and strong like the Tiger
But I will hunt, yet not alone
You are with me in Spirit and Heart
I will see far with the EYE OF THE
TIGER
YOUR EYE... TIGER
MUCH LOVE YOUR PAL AND FRIEND JARED FULLER.
DEDICATED TO YOU AL

Al was by far the most beautiful man I've ever had the honor of having in my life. He was incredibly loving and generous to a fault. When we met each other he told me he finally believed in love at first sight. I'll never forget the joy he brought into my life and as I told him shortly before he left he will carry my love and my heart through eternity. I know he watches me from above and will be waiting for me when it's my turn to go. I love you, sweetheart. Sleep for now.
