Mat god bless you and your family
Big Al! I’ll miss saying hi to you at Ingles every day! You were a cool dude! Praying for your family brother!
Most Sundays, after the service, Al would stop me for a short conversation (usually about sports). I looked forward to these conversations. It never failed before the end of that conversation Al would say something that would have me walking out the door laughing. Going to miss you Al!
Susan &family, Glad I got to know and talk with Al when I was with you all at Victory. I know all grieve with sorrow at losing him from this earth but also with joy for his eternal home. Thinking of you and praying for you.
