Hi Sylvia...it's been a long, long time. I've thought about you and it's sad that it takes these events for people to reconnect. I remember when you and Al started dating how happy you were - obviously that continued on! I'm so sorry for your loss. You are in our prayers. Take care!

Syliva, I am so sorry for your loss and praying for your family. I worked as Al's Admin for 2 year and Al was like a dad to me. Honestly is JUST like my dad and I told him that almost every week. We had such a good working relationship that we could get on each others nerves, but still know that he was there for me no matter what. I was truly saddened and heart broken when I heard the news. Last time I saw you and him at the Lewisville dog park and you were moving within days to retirement and he looked so happy. I hope to make the celebration of life, because just the two years I knew him made a huge impact on mine. I never laughed and smiled so often while working with Al. Praying for you! God Bless!

Awe ...thank you SO much Stephanie. Your sweet words bless my heart and soul. I love that picture of you two. I’m thinking about when you all had a birthday party for Al in that little staff room. Little Debbie sent me a video. You all had such a great relationship and FUN! Grateful for those memories. Thank you for your prayers for our family.

Romans 14:7-9
For none of us lives to himself alone and none of dies to himself alone. If we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. So whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.
Amen.

My introduction to Al took place on the nature trail behind my home. Al and Sylvia would walk Cassie, and the walk would end when Al had finished his drink. I was lucky that day…. I got to meet Al. He was a man of few words but when he spoke it was usually profound and funny. Al was soft spoken, generous and definitely a man’s man. Sylvia and Al always welcomed me into their home and they played a major part in my recovery after the death of my husband Harry and again during my fight with cancer. Al knew how to cook a mean steak. He will live in our hearts forever. I can picture Al and Harry having a conversation and toasting to the good life to come.

Yes Missy Moe ... our boys are having a big ‘Cheers!’ ... in heaven. Our boys have ‘arrived’. Al truly loved you and Harry - and he cared deeply about you during your hardships. Grateful for our friendship and the precious time we spend together. Al loved Texas. I’ll visit soon.

Sylvia, I am so in shock. Al was a true friend to me. I now know why he didn't return my calls over the last year. Wish I could have talked to him one more time. He will truly be missed by all. He was by far the best manager I ever worked for in 30 years and one of the most honest decent people I've ever come across.

Sylvia,
May the wonderful memories you shared with Al be of some comfort to you. I will always remember his great laugh and humor. You and Al were the best “Texas” neighbors. I will cherish all the fun times we spent at your home and the delicious steaks! Al is the only one that could call me name and get away with it! Sending you love and prayers my friend.

I am so happy that I wasn't able to through the ball and accidentally it hittes Al's breast. This day was the beginning of a great friendship. You Syl and Al were so important for us these days, when our little sunshine was born. It was always funny to be with you and Al with his humor.
Our thoughts are with you Syl, your "boys" Cam and Chris and the whole family.
Martina, Eckehard and Samuel

Martina ... thank you. Yes, I’m picturing you at the dog park in Mexico ... pregnant woman. - throwing that ball and smacking Al square in the chest. I think Al threatened to sue you! And that was the beginning of our famous friendship - forever more. You and baby Sammy

It saddens me to hear this.
My deepest sympathies to Sylvia and family.
I worked with Al back in the early 70's at Tri-L flight service and again at Canadian Regional
Great guy, lots of great memories.

Thanks Dean. Yes, Tri-L Flight Services. Our Al certainly earned that name - AIRPORT AL! He loved his job. I remember you ... from Time Air / Canadian Regional days.

I was also on the same course with Al training to be Flight Attendants ! (I think that is where you two met) That was a very good time !

Thank you Marnie for dropping a line. Al always thought you were a ‘Cutie’ - and appreciated your great admin skills. Thank you for your prayers.
