This is one of the saddest days of my life. I have known Al for at least 29 years. I will miss him dearly. He has been a part of my life it seems forever. We have kept in touch for all of those years no matter what. I really can't believe I am writing this to Al for the last time. I will remember all the good times and fun things we have done over the years. I will miss talking to you and e-mailing you, but I do know you are now in no pain and hope you are at peace. To Linda and his extended family my hearfelt condolences are with you at this time of loss in your life. I am sure you will really miss him. He had a kind heart and thought a lot about others.

My Dear Bert! I miss and love you like crazy. I know you are watching over us and keeping us safe. You will be the best guardian angle to the kids.

Many years of good times and fond memories that were had by all. You will surely be missed by many. My deepest sympathies to Linda and the family. Will think of you often & Al if you get this just a reminder... don't forget your promise. Love Rod & Debbie
Judy & I didn't know Al personally, we probably met over the years when visiting Donna & John Bart. Al brightened many a day with his e-mails and I hope that I did the same. Our deepest sympathy on your loss. Bob and Judy Bartlam
It saddens me to hear that I won't be able to look forward to those silly emails anymore and that little giggle on the phone. I have nothing but the fondest of memories of you riding the kids on your motorcycle up and down the road and our snowmobile trips with hot soup by the fire. The only thing that lightens my heart is knowing you won't be alone, Dave, Shayna and Darrell are all with you now, and I know you will all be fishing and riding together now and waiting for the rest of us to join you. My deepest Sympathies to Linda and the family, he will surely be missed by many, and fondly forever in all our hearts. Our Love Barbara and Lance Pratt
