Mr Al was a very sweet man who was loved by many. The children at Queen of all Saints will definitely miss him.
My husband, Dennis Sutton, and I met and knew Al through a mutual friend. Dennis and Al enjoyed salmon fishing together in Michigan. He was always friendly and cheerful to all.

Mr. Al, I’ll never forget the interview I did with you at your home. Your sense of humor and kindness will be forever remembered. May God bless you on your journey home.
I didn’t know Mr. Al well, but I always enjoyed his sweet face, and I respected his obvious love of God. Had the pleasure of talking with him at one of the Heritage lunches, such a nice man. I’m sure he’s in heaven smiling down on all of us. Rest in peace Mr. Al
Scott, Julie, Abby, My condolences to the family. I had the fortunate opportunity to meet your father, father-in-law, grandfather on a number of occasions, he was such a wonderful individual. Our thoughts and prayers are with your entire family. Sincerely, the Macklins Kelly, Linda, Amanda and Brad.
Mr Al lived two doors up from us on Black Forest. He will be sorely missed. We took our cues from him for our lawn care and maintenance.
He happily attended our Mexican themed parties and gladly partook of my wife’s adult “lemonade” and food!! He freely took pictures of those who attended our parties.
His body is gone now, but , as far as we are concerned, Mr Al will always be living in two doors down from us…. And in our hearts forever!!

We were neighbors of the Nadolnys for many years. Al took many wedding and family pictures for us. We have fond memories and I enjoyed chatting with him when I ran into him at snap fitness. I am so sorry to hear of his passing and sad that I was unable to attend his funeral. The family is in my thoughts and prayers.
