I had a nice chat with Al 2 years ago at our 40th class reunion. He was pretty proud of his KIA with over 300,000 miles on it. Sad to have him pass but I’m sure the pain was bad. God Bless, AJ
Al was a wonderful neighbor to us for the past fifteen years. We will really miss his friendly wave, great converstations, smile and humor. We extend our sympathy to Al’s family as they grieve the sudden loss of a great guy.
