Each and every day of my life I will remember my uncle. Al was a great example of what "The Best" is in a human being. I have comfort in knowing that he is and will forever remain in our hearts and memories.

From when Al first learned of his illness, he told me "dont worry, everything is going to be O.K." I wanted so much to believe that no harm would ever come to him. He was so protective of me & my sister and didn't want us to feel any pain or sorrow as he always did & I will always be grateful. Thank you for being such a wonderful man & father. I am going to miss you very much.

Tiger, tiger burning bright in the forests of the night, what immortal hand or eye has formed thy fearful symmetry? This poem reminds me of my brother Al. He was a unique human being that God created in a special way. Like the tiger, Al was a fierce believer in what is right and wrong. He always tried to learn about things through reading and clear up those things that were questionable in life. Like the tiger, he burned bright in all of our hearts and could light up a room with his sense of humor. I can still feel the warmth of that light when I think of him. It surrounds me and gives me peace. I also know that Al's light is shinning down on us now.

My Dad, Al, gave our family so many opportunities in life and we will forever be grateful. He opened up his heart to Devin and Aidan and was such a wonderful grandfather. He also established a strong bond with Tom that was very special. We will all remember his fondly and his kind heart will never be forgotten.

I would see Al at the UPS Store several times a week. Even though I have only been in Colorado Springs a few years, Al was one of the nicest and most caring individuals I have met thus far in this entire state. I was very sad to hear of his passing. He will be missed.

Al will be dearly missed by his spouse, Pat, his family, his former Army colleagues, and his many friends.
However, his good humor in the face of adversity, and easy smile no matter what will always be remembered.
