We were incredibly saddened to hear the news about Al and send our deepest, heartfelt sympathy during this very difficult time.Approximately 24 years ago, we had the pleasure and honor of meeting Al and family at PALS Preschool in Temecula, CA, where lifelong friendships were formed. Al’s friendly, warm demeanor was evident from the beginning and made him easy to be around. He was so patient and kind. Rarely would you see Al without a smile on his face. His stories were fun and he was especially animated when we’d talk about sports. Learning something knew from Al was common and we always appreciated our conversations with him. He was such a wonderful husband, dad, grandpa, and friend. We are going to miss him dearly and will treasure the many special memories we have of him. May you rest in peace, “pal.”Our love, Noel, Bay, Erin, Lauren & Hannah
