To my family , and I believe all of the Brosch family he was known as Uncle Al . 
Our  family and his enjoyed many vacations together in Northern  Michigan starting in the mid 1950’s . This continued until the mid 1960’s and we swam, fished , enjoyed all types of games and enjoyed our time together. Together with my older brother Terry and Al’s son, Alan we grew up vacationing together. 
Uncle Al and my father did a lot of fishing together on lakes in Northern Michigan. I’d say they had pretty good success but believe their time spent together was more fun than the fishing. 
In the early 1970’s I brought a cottage next to Uncle Al and his family in St Helen , MI. This allowed us to vacation together for years with my wife and 3 children . Uncle Al was always willing to help with everything from cutting down trees to playing with my children. He also provided my father his favorite fishing partner for many of his retirement years. 
We enjoyed many nights together with Alan , Terry and me around a fire in a barrel drinking a couple PBR beers . Uncle Al used to stop by the fire for one now and then. 
As you can tell Uncle Al and his family was very close to my family . Uncle Al with my father , Herman enjoyed a close relationship for most of their adult lives.
Uncle Al and my father both lost their wife’s much too early and they spent time together having lunches at their favorite restaurants. I used to tease them about their restaurant of choice which was often the Country Buffet. 
Uncle Al was very proud of Alan & Gloria and their children. He was fortunate to live a long life that allowed him to see his granddaughters marry and start their own families. The last few times we seen Uncle Al he always talked about his granddaughters and how well they’re doing along with their families. 
My wife and I will miss Uncle Al and send our condolences to Gloria, Erica, and Marisa .
RIP Uncle Al

I've lost a good friend who was close to my family.  Though it saddens me that occasional visits to Alfred can no longer happen, he will not be forgotten.  As roommate to my late husband, Jack, we all  got to know each other.  Jack and Alfred became best buddies sharing jokes, making each other laugh, watching TV programs with their wheelchairs parked side by side.  I was there every day for the months that Jack was and would often walk in on them having so much fun.  The fun was contagious!
The three of us played occasional card games or a meal and it was more enjoyable than anyone would think it could be under the circumstances.
Oh...one more thing...Alfred (as our family calls him...loved the cannoli I would bring him occasionally.  He LOVED them...though I was always afraid he would say he was
filled up when the next meal at the round tables was served.  But...a choice had to be made... and we did.
We did manage to get a horse to pay him a visit.  It was a surprise.  He rested each night under the "horse" printed blanket Santa  brought him.  Loved horses!
Rest gently Alfred.  
Share more laughs with Jack.  
You will be missed.

Papa was the roommate right across the hall from my Mom at South Lyon Senior Care. My Mom Donna passed on March  28th but we still continued to stop to visit this dear man. He would tell us many interesting stories of his life. He sure adored his wife, as we could tell by his stories. When we told Papa of our Mom's passing, he told us I will be with her soon, and he meant it. We came to adore this gentleman as the Carbary family across the hall. We would always bring him cuttie oranges and cookies or candy for snacks. May you rest in peace Papa, and give Mom a big hug from us.💞🙏

Many wonderful times at lake St Helen where are family's had cottages for many years. We spent many enjoyable times either fishing or just sitting around the campfire enjoying the stories that uncle Al and my dad Herman Brosch would tell us. My cousin   Alan and my brother Brent always enjoyed the stories.
Rest in peace uncle Al
Terry Brosch
