Please accept my condolences. I worked with Al at Ed Phillips and he was a good guy with a good sense of humor. I was only 18 at the time and he treated with me with respect. I will keep good memories of Al – RIP.
Sorry Donna , but I didn’t see this until a few days ago. Al was a nice guy and I enjoyed working with him at Artmar. Too bad we didn’t get together these past few years.
Sorry for your loss.
Tears.
