I was lucky enough to be able to work with Al in the envelope-making department at Hallmark Cards in Lawrence.
Al was a very dedicated and loyal person to the job tasks, who you could not help but smile with. Such a ray of sunshine to be around.
Heaven is now shining brighter with your presence, Al. ❤️
Jim, we are sorry for the loss of your brother. Wish I could be there Saturday.
James, so sorry for the loss of your brother. I never really knew him, but remember him from riding the school bus. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.
The THS Class of 1973 will have it’s 50th anniversary this Saturday and Al will be remembered. Quiet, good sense of humor and although he didn’t play sports, a pretty fair athlete. Know he surprised Coach Lobb a few times in P.E. One of the nicest people I had the pleasure to know through 12 years at school in Tongie.
James, I’m sorry for the loss of your brother. In grade school he was kind of quiet and 3 years younger so I didn’t know him well. Considering Acts 24:15 is a source of hope.
