Bessie and family: You are in my thoughts and in my prayers. What a joy it was to know Al. His love for his community and country was very evident, pre-empted only by his love for his family. Al knew this land around us and had knowledge we all needed. He was a neighborly neighbor, a value we don't see alot of these days. To put it in Zoning Administrator terms, I would say Al's character was "grandfathered" in. It was my pleasure to have known him.

So sorry to hear of Al's passing. He was a fine man and a great friend to my Dad and our family. I don't know how we would have made it without his advice on the "Can't Hardly Farm". Please take comfort in the fact that Al made such a positive impact on so many people's lives. He will be sorely missed.
