Growing up with this family I will say they always made me feel like part of their family. In the old days running around in the beer warehouse or swimming in the family pool. Al was loved by many. Always a polite hello and how are you. Smiles generously. It was a pleasure knowing such an extraordinary man.
Your friend, Linda Mayer Miller

Al was a true gentleman and friend who was never too busy to help when help was needed. His willingness and enthusiasm was as infectious as his  sense of humor and laughter. Our memories are brighter for having known him. Respects. Don and Corky Senecal

Dear Ladda, I met Al when I was 21 and working at the old hideway tavern. He was always so nice and we became friends. when he met and married you, I became double blessed when you and I became friends. Then when you asked to name your daughter after me, I was honored. through the years we have had some great times at your home and ours that I will never forget. We will always be just a phone call away if you ever need us in any way. love from our hearts to yours, Bruce and Lindsay
