Your Dad was a great mentor as a close family friend who had a naturally joyful demeanor yet a serious sense of responsibility. What a fine example for me growing up as someone to emulate and learn from. So sorry for your loss but what a wonderful life to celebrate and cherish.
The main memory I have of my Uncle Al is that he was always smiling. Second memory I have is that he and my Aunt Helen were on the dance floor dancing up a storm. He has graced so many of us with pleasant memories. My sympathy goes to my cousins. My envy goes to them also because of the wonderful father they had.
Hugs and prayers as you all are an extension of a very sweet and loving man. Since Al was my Dad Mike O'Brien's oldest buddy(since kindergarten ) Helen &Al are a fond memory from my childhood. RIP AL
