Al was a joyous person and I am glad I got to know him years ago after a softball game in Kalamazoo. He loved music...but not ABBA's Dancing Queen :o). Al always had a story, joke or just a smile to share. I have many memories of drinks at Main St Pub with Al, joking around with others, playing pool, listening to the music on the jukebox. I visited Al quite a few times when he played in the bands supporting local plays. I also saw him in a live band at Sir Pizza once. I got the pleasure of meeting his wife, Cathy, at the Wall Lake cottage once. He enjoyed life and enjoyed helping people. He will be missed....RIP Al, we all love you!
