We called him uncle Al because you always felt a sense of reassurance in his company. I remember as if it were yesterday the days at Holmes field and the fun we had as a group. Even years later as a police officer he would always talk with fond memories about those days. When my dad past away Alan led the procession from the church with a police escort. I will never forget that moment. Rest in peace uncle Al, you are true blue. Our most sincere condolences to the entire Gemme family.

Al Vuona and family.
