Dear Maria and Peter: I am saddened to hear of Al's passing. We shared many stories of family history during our Legacy classes. Al's genealogy family history was important to him. He never got to finish his book. Hopefully, his son will carry on with Al's family history. Know that Al is now in God's gentle and loving hands.

Maria and Peter:
I totally enjoyed knowing your husband and father all these years on his Legacy book. I am so sorry that he could not finish it.
He is not suffering any longer and back with his Mother and Grandmother and the rest of his family.
I will always carry found memories of working with him on his book and the stories he shared. He was a wonderful, kind and generous man.
