Al & I met in a training program at Caterpillar in 1969. We became the best of friends. We spent many hours playing tennis, chess, euchre, boating, and just hanging out. I have many fine memories of him and will always miss my good friend. My condolences go out to his wonderful wife Roseanne and their extended families.

Al & I go way back to our roots in Joliet in the mid 1960's. I met him thru my hockey playing friends & we were friends for life & shared a townhouse together in Villa Park for 2 years in the late 1970's. We shared alot of great moments together, whether it be attending or watching sporting events, playing tennis, playing euchre, even going on long bike rides. He will be missed & I am grateful that I have the memories of all of the great times together. Godspeed my friend.

My deepest condolences to Rosanne & Linda & Al's extended family.
