Condolences to the family of Al. I only know one member of the family, George, and he is truly a class act. I know a long time has passed since, but there are moments when the loss is fresh. God bless you all.

Very sorry to hear of Al’s passing. He had a tough go after his wife died and was somewhat lost without her around. He’d always bring in his little sidekick that kept him company all day long. He loved his dog to pieces. You could tell within minutes of meeting him just how big his heart really was. I knew he was a trucker, he loved camping and my goodness he loved that dog! Best wishes on your new life Al! You will have been greeted with open arms, and may your legacy live forever in the ones that loved you. Until we meet again. ;)
