Dear Sue and family, I am so sorry for your loss., I just met Alan this past year at the gym. We talked quite a bit, and shared stories of our lives. He seemed like a great guy who loved the outdoors and ice fishing! I will miss him. I am praying for you to experience God's comfort and grace as you deal with your loss.

Dear Sue and Family: I just heard of Al's passing and wanted to let you know my thoughts and prayers are with you at this trying time. Al was one of the good guys, and I loved working with him in the gift industry while at Blue Mountain Arts.
His humor, spirit and out-of-doors stories will long be remembered by myself and many, many others.
Please know I care.

Sue, I am not too savvy with this guest book. My fist effort failed! I want to send my sincerest sympathies to you and your family on losing Al. And also tell you I am so sad that we have lost another St. Catherine guy, who always made me laugh and reminds me of so many youthful days at Lawn Manor Park. We must treasure his memory - it is all that we have left.
