To Al’s Family – Sorry for the loss of your loved one. We enjoyed being with him and talking about Pittsburgh. It is a small world but now the world is at a loss because of Al’s passing. We will miss him at Post 111. He had a way of making us laugh and feeling good when he was there. He was such a kind and gentle person and we are sure we will all get together again in heaven.
