Al was a kind, warm and friendly peron. Always upbeat, always a kind word and genuine concern for others. I worked for Allan in the early 1980s. Someone had to answer his business phone while he golfed! It had been years since I'd seen him, but we kept in touch with holiday greetings. I will truly miss that but know that I've been blessed by having known him.

Al and I were boyhood buddies. He was the greatest athlete to come out of Garfield Ridge. Al starred in baseball, basketball and football. When he turned to golf, Al excelled in that sport also. Beyond his athletic ability, Al was an intelligent, kind man.

Gene Mueller alerted us to this loss. It has been many years since I last saw Cousin Allen (my dad's nephew). I was still a teenager, I think, but I have clear memories of spending some family get-togethers with Allen and other cousins. I even remember one where he was wearing a baseball uniform, and I remember his smile.
May our good and gracious Lord send blessings and peace to Allen's family and friends.

A friend is someone we turn to
when our spirits need a lift.
A friend is someone we treasure
for our friendship is a gift.
A friend is someone who fills our lives
