Al Pride was a fine gentleman. He was a friend, colleague and neighbor of the highest quality that will be sorely missed.
I was blessed to have had the pleasure of working with Al over the last 10 years. Always a gentleman, but also a kind soul who brought happiness and light to everyone who knew him. The world was a better place with Al in it, he will be missed.
I just went searching for my childhood buddy. I sadly found his obituary. He always had a passion for baseball. We played little league together. His mom was always so kind and dad was extremely dedicated to his family. The entire family gave me a template for family life that I did not have on my own. Thank you for the memories to all of them. Rest in peace.
