Elaine, I was stunned to hear of Al's passing. I always looked forward each day, as Ace and I went by, to waving and talking to you both and to getting Al's reaction to the previous day's Twins game. You were blessed with Al for many years and are also blessed with a big family to aid you during this difficult time, but I know you will also always have a Bass Camp family who will support you. God bless you, Kay
Our thoughts and Prayers are with you Elaine! Al was a very special man and a very good friend to us. We will miss pulling into Bass Camp and having him greet us. Praying for you and your family during this difficult time?? Tom&Lisa Degnan

It's not going to be the same visiting Bass Camp. I will miss looking for you when I first arrive. You were always doing something in the yard or your shed. I will miss our talks about Nascar and my Huskers with you. You will be greatly missed, but always remembered. RIP Jake
I did not get an opportunity to meet Alvin as we have only been camping at Bass Camp a couple weeks but I am sure if he loved Bass Camp he must have been a fine man. So sorry for your loss. You are in my thoughts.
Our condolences to the family of Al Jacobson, He will be missed.
We send our condolences to the family. Sending thoughts and prayers to everyone.
