Charlotte and Lisa, was sad to see your Dad's obituary in the paper today. Have great memories of your Dad as "Coach Al." Long time ago now but sure enjoyed playing softball on his team. I know you are already missing him. Prayers for you and your families.

I have many fond memories of Uncle Al. When I was a kid I loved going to visit Grandma and Uncle Al's family lived right next door so we got to visit them too and got to jump on the trampoline with Lisa and Charlotte. Praying for comfort and peace for the whole family. Love ya'll.
