My wife, Cheryl, was neighbor Pat's daughter and the 3 of us would often play cards with Al and Mary when we visited. Mary would always make sure we left with a dishcloth that she had made. I still use them daily. They will both be missed and thought of fondly.

We just found out about Al! So very sorry for your loss! He was such a nice kind man! My parents, Bill & Pat Rinck used to live in the condo right next to him & Mary. They used to live on a farm & Al & Mary & others there made the adjustment so much easier! My parents & Al shared the area in the front, for flowers! Theirs was the prettiest! My dad had Alzheimer’s & only lived there for two years but Al & him became good friends! They would have game nights & Lois would join them too! After my dad passed away they still continued game nights with my mom & they kept an eye out for her. He was such a nice kind man! I’m sure my mom & dad greeted him in heaven when he got up there!!
