Al was a truly wonderful human being. He was a fair and honest man and treated everyone with respect. He was one of my mentors during my career as an air traffic controller. He will be sorrowfully missed. I offer my condolences and prayers to the family. Regards John - Posted by: John Cantin (Co-Worker) on: Mar 30, 2005
