AL, I was taken back on how I learned of your death. Have not heard from you and could not reach you by phone. Went to your house and a neighbor told me you passed months back. I was distraught. We have been friends since days at transportation and continued that friendship. I loved you friend and you were a great friend to me. Now that your gone it will never be the same. May you rest in internal peace with your lord. My memory of you will never vanish! I remain your friend always. Jeff Benson

Al, you will be missed. It hurt to know that you are gone, cousin. We talked so much before you died and it was unbelievable when I called and your niece answered the phone. We worked together and you always knew and understood me when we talked. I will always remember you saying meow like a cat when you answered the phone to me as a joke and we laughed about it. Love there in heaven cousin. God bless your Dad and family on this sad occasion. Shirley
