Al was a special friend, I have known him and his family for 40 years now and have grown to love them. I wasn't always close to them just an off and on relationship with his kids who were my age. Al and I worked together for several years and that was what drew us back together as friends. He was a great story teller and a cut up. He will be missed by all who was fortunate enough to have known him. Rest in peace my dear friend until we meet again at heavens gate.
