Jan, Dawn & Laurie,

We are so very, very sorry to hear of Al's passing. Jim and I had just recently said that we should make time to come up to visit. Your Dad and husband will be missed by all. But,we have fond memories of Al's humor, of him doing yard work and of Al always being willing to play games with you...Laurie, Dawn & Theresa. Oh! and we'll always remember Al teasing Theresa about eating rabbit. When she thought it was chicken. We have really happy and loving memories of Al.

With love,
James & Patricia Matsunaga
