I am so sorry that AL had passed I just saw it on my husbands union dues card. WE were never informed and I am so sorry we could not of paid our respects. Al was a great guy and my Dads best friend. He was there everyday for my Dad when he got sick, and I will never forget that. With deepest sympathy's Michele Klecka Foster.
