Sorry to hear of the loss of your father. He and his wife, Betty, were good friends of my parents, Joe and Rex Kuhlman. I have fond memories of taking my parents to their Clark home so they could visit with your folks. Heard many good stories on those days. My father was also a graduate of St. Pats in Parnell with your dad.

We were next door neighbors of Al and Betty for many years and couldn't ask for anyone better. They were there for us if we needed anything. Al would volunteer to help with any plumbing issues that we had. He was a kind, gentle, and caring person. He will be dearly missed. Our
thoughts are with you Bob, Mary, and Jim. Terry and Bette Hankis
