So sorry to hear of Al’s passing. Although we hadn’t seen each other recently, I’ll always remember all the laughs we had going after each other.
My condolences to the family.

Always enjoyed playing poker at your house. You were always so generous with your food spread, especially for your fellow diabetic players. I will miss your humor and friendship.

As I attended the service and burial, Richard expressed a desire to honor Al by mounting the American Flag along with a Jewish War Veterans garrison cap. I found a member of our post who has an extra hat and he will bring it to me tomorrow night to honor your father. You can contact me at 847-269-6290 or mssstps@aol.com to make arrangements to give you the hat.

Thinking of you all. Sad to hear the news. I am glad I had a chance to bump into you all at the airport. I had some great photo booth pics from my wedding. I thought this one was sweet.
