Bobbi, John, Dana, Joan and Angie,

You have lost a wonderful husband, father, grandfather, uncle and brother. For me, I have lost a wonderful friend. I have so many memories of the times our families spent together and will always remember those good times.

I will not be able to attend the services due to business travel, but please know my heart goes out to you all for the loss of a very wonderful man.

Sincerely,

Cele

Bobbi - my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this most difficult time. It seems like only yesterday this heinous disease took over Al's body but I'm sure for you it was a lifetime. He is at peace and his suffering is over and his dignity has been restored. That is the one awful thing about this disease, it strips you of your dignity. I know what you went through and I admire your strength and courage and how lovingly you took care of Al. It will take time but you will heal. Love you. - CORKY
