To know Al was a privilege. Words fail me. We’ve all suffered an enormous loss.

My Condolences to all of you. RIP Al. I’m sure you’re enjoying a drink right now with my Uncle Joe and all the others who have gone before you.
My prayers go out to Bernadette,Jimmy,and Johnny. Your dad will be missed by many people including myself. The last few months the stories that your dad told me were always a learning experience.(I’ll miss those). Your dad always had friends where ever he went (that will continue in his new journey). We were all blessed to meet and have a friend in Al. Rest In Peace Al! Fly high!
