We are very sorry about Al’s passing. Our thoughts are with you and the family. Love, Sheri, Steve, Jennifer and Hannah Brechue, Karen and Colin Frank and Tom Campbell.
Uncle Al will be greatly missed. It was an honor to have him for an uncle. He was a very kind man and I will cherish my many memories. He was also inspiration to my son Ryan who shared his love of flying. Him and Dottie both were amazing people. From Mike, Sue, Ryan and Alec RIP Al. We all loved you!
