My sincere and deepest condolences. I just found out this afternoon and I am so very saddened by your loss. Al would frequently come by and see what new "toys" I had aquired. He and I shared a love of cars and motorcycles. I always enjoyed chatting him while I was in front of our house tinkering on the bikes or vintage cars. As a neighbor and friend, I am shocked and very saddened by his passing. My thoughts are with you and your sons.
