Elsie my most sincere condolences to you and all the family. I have so many great memories of Al one of them being the fact that our offices were beside each other. Come noon he would quietly close the office door and stretch out that large body on the floor in front of the desk to coax that back into finishing the day. Such courage but always in his gentle manner. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you, may he rest in peace
