Al was my work mate at IBM. He was a pleasure to work with--pleasant --dedicated and got the job done. I have not seen AL for some time since retirement. A good and faithful friend. I will miss Al and I am certain Al is in a better place. Peace for AL, and all family and friends

Our deepest sympathies to Sandy and their family. We have been neighbors for 30+ years. May God hold Allan in his ever-loving arms and grant him eternal piece. We will miss Allan
I'm terribly sorry to hear this sad news. Al and I began working together at IBM Corporation in Boca Raton, Florida in the latter part of 1968. In 1972, we both accepted a transfer to the IBM Manufacturing Plant in Rochester, Minnesota. We spent a lot of time together both hunting, fishing and some canoeing in SE Minnesota. I've always considered Al a good friend. My condolences to Sandy.
