Nell and Reg, I am so sorry for your loss. I am so glad that I had the opportunity to meet Al and Nell several times. Al definetly was a "People Person". But most of all he was a wonderful Grandfather to my Great Niece, Taylor Jane, and, I believe loved my niece, Jenny, like his own daughter. He will be missed so much by both of them!

Rest in Peace, Al, as I'm sure you will.
