These pictures were provided to me for George Cozad’s 80TH birthday party, a few of them were taken during the party.
What a wonderful man he was. So blessed to have known him . I remember a time when my Mother was sewing and her machine messed up, called Al he knew right away what the problem was and fixed it for her like nothing. He truly enjoyed helping others in time of need. I am very sorry to Milly and the family in this time of sorrow. Its so wonderful to hold on to the memories and keep them in your heart. He is way better off then we are. Absent from the body, is to be present with the LORD.
Phil and Jeff, you and your family is in our thoughts and prayers. We both have fond memories of working with Al at Miller Equipment and for a short time at FrenchCreek Production. Blaine and Tracey Pettit
Working with Al at Miller Equipment was a pleasure. He could fix most ANYTHING!! On my first day at work Al came to me & said. ” I know who you are , you look just like your dad. I worked with your dad when Millers was downtown. You are Lloyd Perry’s daughter!” I didn’t even know dad worked for Millers. He will be a legend with all of us that worked with him for so many years….My thoughts &a prayers will be with his family & friends.
Celebrating the beauty of a life well lived. What a privilege and honor to know such a precious man! My life was made rich by his life and love! I am forever grateful! My heart aches for earths great loss, yet rejoices at heavens great gain! No doubt he can now clearly hear the words of Jesus saying, “Well done! ” My love, hugs and prayers.
