I first met Al at Pheasant Ridge Center in Kalmazoo.  We both worked on the ward together.  Al was driving from Nashville to Kalamazoo and going to school at WMU.  We worked together for 10 years.  It was a pleasure to work with him.  He was a very calm person working in a very stressful environment.  We both ended up on the night shift. We shared an interest in computers and programming.  Al created a baseball software game on a Commodore 64 that was hilarious.  Kudos to you Al.  You made a big difference and acheived alot in your lifetime.
