Not sure what to say?





Very sorry for your loss, Fr. Al and family. Please accept my deepest sympathy.

I dd not know your Dad, personally, but his reputation as a very intelligent and kind person was known to me through you and others. Upon reading his obituary, I realize he was even much more than that.

May He rest in God's Peace.

Sincerely,
Barbara Nowicki

Al was one of the most significant community activists during my youthful days as a journalist...his role in county government and later in state operations were meaningful in many ways.. always pleasant and energetic--a GOOD guy indeed.

Please accept my sympathies. Your dad, to me, was a link to so many memories of my mom, Josephine ( Kargul) Swanson and other family members. Certainly an accomplished person, he will be missed by the community.

Al, Barbara, Carole and Lou Ann.... So sorry for your loss. He was a great man and will be greatly missed. The day he died, I was doing family research on him and his sisters, as I work on our genealogy. Hugs and prayers for you all. RIP, Al.
