Our sympathies go out to Al´s family.
I knew Al as a colleague when we were teaching at Hopewell-Loudon together. He was well liked and respected by the students and his colleagues. We also painted houses together one summer.
He will be missed by all who knew him.

So sorry to hear of Al´s passing. I worked with him for many years driving truck at Mennel Milling. He was a great guy. I will always picture him with that pen or pencil tucked behind his ear.

Al and Mary Ruth were kind and helpful in getting me and my wife up to speed for duplicate bridge in Fostoria and then getting us hooked on bridge tournaments with a trip to a big tournament in Gatlinburg TN.

My sympathies go out to Al´s family.
I knew Al as a teacher on our teaching staff at Hopewell Loudon high school. He was a very competent teacher, friendly and well liked by students and his teaching colleagues. He loved and was devoted to his family. I´m sure Al will be sadly missed by all of us who knew and were associated with him.
