Keith, Deb and family:
May God bless and comfort you during this difficult time. It is very hard to lose a loved one; especially a loving and caring parent. Although the road ahead maybe difficult, please trust that the love and memories of your father will never fade.
With love and my deepest sympathy,

Although I did not know Al well, I still possess enormous respect for him.
Al was not a “talker”, but when he said something it would behoove one to listen.
Adjectives that describe Al are gentle, kind, intelligent, wise, and humorous.
When I was purchasing a new home, as a favor, Al stopped by & checked the house thoroughly. He assured me that the house was well built.
Al was correct in his assessment because after 17 years, there have been no structural issues, only cosmetic.
After I moved into my home, Al would jog by in the morning and communicate with his son Keith (Chino) that I needed to cut my lawn.
These two anecdotes demonstrate Al’s character and his sense of humor.
It is evident that Al touched many lives, including mine.
Fondly,
Ken Berry & Kay Lenhart
