So sorry to hear of Al's passing. He was a great teammate in our time together at SCITS and an even better man.

I just heard about Al's passing. I attended Devine Street Public School with Al. Al & I (with significant help from his Mom) baked a cake, that we donated to raise funds for the Red Cross. Al was a good friend. Please accept my sincere condolences.

My sincerest condolences. Al was one of the nicest human beings that I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. I have fond memories of time spent together in high school and then as house mates at Waterloo.

Cheryl, my condolences for your loss of Al. He was one of the best friends that I could have had through our time together at SCITS and Waterloo. Al was a kind and gentle soul.

Dear Cheryl: I am so truly sorry for your loss. I know that Al was not just your husband, but your very best friend in the world. I have such fond memories of both you and Al as far back as I can remember. Spending every summer at your parent's house allowed me the opportunity to get to know all of you much better than I would have otherwise. And of course family reunions and family events kept us in touch over the years ... and for that i will always be grateful. Al was one of the kindest and most gentle men I have ever known and I admired the way he adored you! It will be the hardest thing in the future to see you without him. It just doesn't seem possible. You will be in my thoughts and prayers as you move through this painful journey of grief. Love you so much.
