It's been almost a year since the passing of my good friend Al. I will continue to miss him and remember him for his warmth, sense of humor(his Hitler routine was priceless)and the manner in which he accepted everyone including me for who they were and are. God bless him. He was one of a kind and he is truly missed.

MY DEEPEST HEARTFELT SYMPATHIES TO AL'S DEAR FAMILY. LIKE EVERYONE WHO KNEW AL, I ALWAYS ADMIRED HIS WARM, CONGENIAL PERSONALITY AND HUMOR. AL'S KINDNESS TOWARDS HIS FRIENDS WAS EXEMPLARY AND EVERYONE ENJOYED HIS COMPANY.AL'S SUDDEN PASSING IS SHOCKING AND PAINFUL. I KNEW MANY OF AL'S BUDDIES THAT DROVE TAXI CABS AND FREQUENTED THE RACETRACK. WE ALL SUFFER HIS PASSING AND PRAY HE'S NOW RECEIVING HIS REWARDS IN A PLACE MORE WONDERFUL BECAUSE HE WAS TRULY A TERRIFIC MAN THAT WAS RESPECTED AND LOVED BY ALL.

I am so sorry to hear of Al's passing. Al has been a friend of mine for the last several years. I originally met him through Richard Trais. My wife and I enjoyed his wit, humor and enthusiam for having a good time. Also, every time we talked he made genuine heartfelt inquiries as to the well being of my family. He will be sorely missed. I am sorry that we cannot make Al's funeral Monday and want to wish the family our deepest sympathies at Al's untimely passing. It is still so hard to believe that he is gone.
