Michelle,

We offer our deepest condolences. I have very fond childhood memories of Uncle Al, and I trust that God will help keep those memories alive within your heart, particularly knowing that he is now in a better place, a place of great joy and happiness, surrounded by the loved ones who have preceded him.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Little Al & Michelle, I heard your dad refer to you what seemed like a million times. I always appreciated how your dad remained friends with my mom following the passing of my dad. Your dad was a great man without any pretension whatsoever and that is a special trait to have. He will be missed.

How about some Mr. Keller's finest moments: Schwegmann's first thing Sunday morning. The radio in his work space in the garage turned in to WWL all the time. Cutting grass well into his 80's. His love of family. His will to live after Carrie died. That impish smile and his comments (“Hey, Spyder, what happened, man, to your hair?�). Smashing his empties on the driveway with his car. We will miss you, but so many great memories.

I just wanted you to know we really enjoyed being a small part of your Mom & Dad's life, they were very good and kind people.
