You were the extrovert, the adventurous, the optimist... I am glad you lived for the present. Your life here was short, but full. You are sorely missed brother. I love you. RIP

Al,
May he raise you up on eagles wings
Bare you on the breath of dawn and paint you to shine the the sun
and hold you in the palm of his hand...

Al was like a father and a great example of a human being to my husband. We visited Al many times on his beat and witnessed his many acts of compassion to the citizens of Chicago. He is now a guardian angel to his family and friends. His spirit was without a doubt the strongest I've ever seen in a man.

I am so sorry for your loss.I only know of AL through my co-worker Arthur.
but he was a TOP COP and loved the streets.He will be missed but is in a better place.
People we love are never gone as we carry them in our hearts always.
