Al was a special person and always brought so much fun and laughter with him. He will truly be missed. Our sincere sympathies for Jackie and family.

I worked with Jackie and she was one of the best people I had the privilege to meet. The wonderful *Al* stories she shared were priceless. I loved that Cubs/Sox banter she and Al enjoyed.
Al seemed to be a man that loved life and was very world wise. Praying her strength at this time in losing her sole mate/friend.
