I was gone for a while and has been trying to read all the posts Ive missed, just read this one and was shocked...I have always enjoyed his post and I will surely miss them. I only knew him through this forum, but he seemed like a very honest and respected man. RIP

Remember when we were younger it seemed like every month or so there was a wedding to attend. Now it's funerals. Part of the aging process for sure but it sure doesn't get any easier. I've always believed the the old adage that the good die young.

Sayonara Al.

For the first part of this year I seemed to be attending one funeral per month, sometimes two.

It slowed down during the summer but it seems to be picking up steam again.

The bitchin' thing about getting old is that you start to outlive your friends. I'm down to 3 good friends and a bunch of acquaintances. I can't afford to lose any more so you guys stay healthy.

fer al--

--a heart of gold stopped beating
2 shining eyes at rest
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best
God knows you had to leave us
But you did not go alone--
For part of us went with You
the day He called You home
To some you are forgotten
To others just the past
But to those that loved & lost you
Your memory will always last'--

So do I Galvi. Miss seeing his witty posts and the friendly banter. I'm sure God had made a special place for him.

Spent a lot of time looking for the obit one night, for some reason did not find it. Thank you for posting. He will always be missed.

I'm sorry I never had the pleasure of meeting the gentleman. It looks like we had the same interests and could have easily been friends.

Thanks for finding the obit. He passed away far too soon.

Does anyone know how his wife is doing?

Shocked by the news of the passing of our beloved BigAl, I joined the forum on 2006 and disappeared for some time but resurfaced 2 weeks ago. When I was active on the ST4 side of life I was always being poked and made fun of by Al and he gave as good has he got! What an awesome fella. I was due (Like many) to travel from the UK to see him whilst taking the opportunity to holiday in the USA.

I miss his wit and banter and the happy and very helpful way he was with us all.

Boy I was looking forward to getting back to the old antics with him once more!

Rest in peace Big man and "keep them cogs a turning"
