Mrs Anita, Nancy, Mary P, Colleen and Anita & familes-
I was so sorry to hear about my boyfriend Al. He was a great man and neighbor! I have many fond memories of him which put a smile on my face and I know yours. I wish I could be there today but I'm out of town for work. Take Care.

Al was one of the kindest, most sincere men I have ever met. He greeted everyone with open arms and made you part of his family. The love he had for his family was so huge it is difficult to express. I will always smile when I think about Al and his quick wit. I will always be grateful that I could be one of his "girlfriends"!
Rest in peace, Al.
