Jackie & family,

So nice to see all that attended Al's memorial service yesterday, a testament of how they loved and will miss Al.

We will always remember and cherish all of the fun times we shared together, the laughs always present.

I will always miss my fishing buddy.


Love, George & Donna

Dear Jackie,

My deepest sympathies. So heartily sorry for your loss. Prayers for you and daughters. Sandy was a nice man. A smile comes to my face remembering when we lived in Hamilton - as he drove passed our house - the "AH..OOH..GAA" from his really loud but cool horn! May God's grace and the memories of your many years together bring you comfort and peace. Cousin Sherrie
