A sincere loss to me how do we repair a hole in our life and heart the salve is to recall fondly the memories. A true soldier and friend who placed family, friends and country at the forefront-true selfless service. He always had correct advice for me. I am sad but will, carry on as Al would have desired. May God bless him and protect him.
