Our condolences to the entire Ondrus family. While teaching at Clay High School several of the Ondrus "kids" were in my English class. You were all special in your own way and you can judge students by their parents. I remember hearing positive comments about Albert although I never recall meeting him. Linda, you will remember the last time we talked, April 2001 at a retirement party for Herm Dunwald. Then in the mid-2000's Jan and I saw Amy and Ron at the Franklin Park Mall. Good memories of the Ondrus family and our special thoughts and prayers to the entire family. God Bless!!

Ondrus family & Loved Ones

It seems like a avoid in my life has now occured due to Al & my father Ernie's passing. I can not express into words or even say anything that may help in easing this pain for my loss. I hurt deeply inside and just writting these few comments causes me to ask why? Why does death come like a thief. When will it all end? I don't have the answers, but I continue in hope, love and peace. I press forward living my simple life with the belief my humble existense is a Godly example of Al. Yes a life I know he would be proud of, and the way I raised my children would honor his memeories.

Forever! & Forever Greatful for his life example. "My God Father"

My condolences upon hearing of Al's passing.

Al was my second father, my godfather. I grew to appreciate his warm and kind heart, and that special friendship that he had with my late father.

Al and Ernie were two long time buddies that shared a lifetime together. I get comfort knowing that they are both together now.

My prayers are with you during this difficult time.
