    We sure loved Uncle Al, he will be missed. Things I will never forget about him…. he liked the topography of Kansas…nice and flat as well as sparse trees. He would jokingly say he didn’t like all the trees here in Missouri. He also would ask if he could have a loan every time we would see him. He was a huge Cardinals baseball fan. He also had a great sense of humor. It was amusing seeing Al and Carl together giving each other a hard time. Many wonderful memories.
