I was sad to hear of Al's passing, I used to be Kevin & Allison's neighbor in Okotoks when Al was on his "extended visit" (as he liked to call it) to Alberta. He and I became good friends, myself owning a practically antique truck at the time, he was always rolling up his sleeves to help me fix this or that, insisting that there was no way he'd let me drive it like that :) We shared a lot of laughs, a lot of beers and the odd hot toddy on chilly days... yes, Al always had a story! My favorite memory of Al was when (a friend of mine lent me her Mercedes Benz for a few days ) and I took him for a cruise around town and for a tear up the highway, I don't think I ever saw a bigger grin!
