Gene,

Please pass my condolences on to Jim and family. I remember Al mainly from his stop-by visits to QW. He was a true gentleman.

I seem to remember meeting Al in 63 or 64 at QW while we were up one year. Gene, please tell Jim and family we are sorry for their loss.

Frank and Charley,

I just got back from the funeral home. I offered your condolences to Jim. He asked me to thank you.

As I sat here today remembering things about Al, I was reminded of how much he loved a good joke.

Al worked at the Pepsi-Cola bottling plant in Quincy for over 40 years. He worked his way up the ladder to production manager before retiring.

He once gave me a six-pack of Budweiser cans filled with what else? PEPSI!!!

He enjoyed giving someone what they thought was a cold beer and then seeing the look on their faces when they swallowed that first gulp of Pepsi.

I don't care who you are that's funny!

Al will be missed in this life, but he's renewing old friendships in a better place.

Jim, I am very sorry to hear about the passing of your dad. You and your family will be in my prayers.

[Master Oil Racing Team]

I am as well Jim. I never knew your Dad Jim, but I know had he to have enjoyed every minute of the time he spent boat racing. He must have been so proud of you and your racing accomplishments he could bust. He had a long life and saw a lot of things. More than many. Our prayers are with you and your family Jim.
