Al was always the first to volunteer to help someone, even people he didn't know. He helped me at the lake so many times, even helped my contractor dig a footing for my porch once because Al saw the man struggling with a hand shovel in the summer heat... so Al went and got his backhoe, possibly saving this man from serious injury. And I know he did that kind of thing all the time for others too. Al always had a smile on his face and a wonderful sense of humor. He would come by to see us, telling the funniest stories and never had a bad thing to say about anyone. I will greatly miss my conversations with him. He was a great friend and the best neighbor anyone could hope for. Bigelow Lake will never be the same without him. Our hearts are broken. We'll never forget him... and Cathy, we're here for you.
