Al was my first boss. He hired me to work at the first McDonald’s in Portsmouth before it was built. We went to Chillicothe to work till the store in Portsmouth was open. . I remember Al making Bruce coming in to work , he was just a kid. Al was a great boss and he was always so good to me. RIP Al, I’m sure you’ll be building McDonald’s in Heaven. Prayers to Your family.

Sending thoughts and prayers from my family to yours. A lifetime of memories isn't enough. Al and my dad are talking about the "old" days in Heaven and laughing it up. I remember in college doing a project on starting a McDonald's franchise and Al was more than happy to tell me the entire process. He was like a kid explaining every detail. I know he will be missed but I also know he is rejoicing in Heaven. - Robin, Nevaeh and Donna
