The service was a lovely tribute to a life well lived and a clear legacy established. It told the story of a courageous man who knew how to love and was loved deeply in return. His legacy lives on through the many relationships he developed most importantly his daughters, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Al loved Carol with a fierceness and devotion above all else.

Uncle Al was always the coolest. When I was around I always felt super at ease and comfortable. Great man who served his country. I still tell people he was WWII vet.

Getting old is a gift. I know it was hard for my dad to believe that- I guess because it was a gift to us. Love you dad and miss you. Love andrea
