i will never forget Al’s advice on what restaurants to go to and what to order. He was right. Al knew food. And he had tons of tips on cooking. I always listened because I knew he knew what he was talking about.
You sure left a big hole here. Nobody can fill your HAM Radio shoes. What will we do without you? Pray the repeater does not go down! We really miss you at American Legion Post 177 too! Everybody is asking about you.
We are all stunned. I hope that you are in the arms of Jesus and passed the mustard to get into heaven. Send me a sign, will you please? Miss you!
