I had the opportunity to work closely with Al at St. Timothy Jr./Sr. High School in Cochrane. Al was a very kind, compassionate and caring man. He always stood up and advocated for those students who were struggling the most. Al you will be dearly missed by your family and friends. I am definitely going to miss your infectious chuckle and your great sense of humour. It was difficult to see you struggle in these recent days. May God watch over you and provide you peace and comfort in heaven. My prayers are with you and the loved ones you have left behind. God Bless Al, you are in good hands now.
