Life is very unexplainable. We've only had the opportunity to meet with Al on a few occassions. In that short time he has made a huge impact on our life. He was a very kind man that loved life and most especially his family. We will miss the chance to know Al better. The world will not be the same without him. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this most difficult time.

Sincerely,

Scott and Joanne Arenz and Ryan too.
