Big AL will be missed by so many since he has touched each life in a different way. He was always smiling and full of life, love and joy. He was not bashfull in giving you his opinion on any subject you asked him about. A lot of people think he was gruff but, they never knew the real Al. His bark was so much worst than his bite. The people that know AL know him for a gentle giant of a man. with the biggest heart in the world. Alway, there to lend a ear a hand or anything else that he could do for you. I know that he left a wonderful family behind. Nothing can ease the pain of sorrow you are feeling right now, but remember that it was such a great blessing having him as your Father. He was so proud of each of you. When you feel sorrow that he is no longer here with you, think of all the wonderful things you shared together and how happy he always was having you in his life. He'll always be in your hearts and he will stay near all of you until you meet him again. Just remember that God called a very special angel home. God Bless all of you.

Al's passing has saddened our community greatly. As our neighbor you will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family during this sad time. Our hope is that each family member and friend will trust in God's decision to take Al at this time, and remember that He is always in control.

Al was one of the finest people I have ever met; I consider myself fortunate to have known him. I shall always value his frank and honest opinions and the advice he gave me when times were rough. He was truly one in a million - someone I will never forget. Tommie and family, you are in my thoughts and prayers.

We are so sorry for your loss. Big Al was, what can I say, Big Al. He was so full of life, and that is how we will fondly remember our times with him and all of you as well.

Thru flowing tears and a terribly broken heart, I'll try to speak for so many of us and say "later" to our best friend ever "Big Al". You've touched the hearts of so many and tried to keep us all straight and going in the right direction. Well, we thought is was the right direction as we always followed you. You are definitly our "Leader of the Pack", And what a Pack it is!!! We know that you, sometimes, felt we were hopeless (oh yes.....we will all remember how you would shake that head) but you never totally gave up on us and you loved us all in a special way. You will live in our hearts through the countless and precious memories you gave us. You were truly loved by so many. Your "little thing" Tommie, children, grandchildren and your multitude of friends are now enduring the pain of our great loss. You left us not knowing exactly where or how to go on from here. When God came for you, he gave us a mountain that we may never climb. With our Faith in him, and our love for you, we will endure that task one day at a time. Watch over us, Al, and continue to keep us going in the right direction so that we will all be together again. We love and miss you so very much. Littlejo, Bigjoe, Mike and Teresa

We just don't know how putting off visiting just for a few days turns into a lifetime. I'm an surely going to miss hearing "hi old Lady" and responding "hi old man" when I have my fond memories of Al. If there is anything I can do to ease your pain just let me know. Patti
