Condolence: I was sorry to hear of Al's death. I know he will be missed by many and remembered by all who met him. Al gave much time and energy to the Sheet Metal Industry and Local 98 and left all of us better for his service. Al was a man of integrity and honesty, a man to respect and I will remember him that way. Mourn his death, celebrate his life and remember him always. R.I.P.

Condolence: Al as, hundreds of other Local 98 Sheet Metal brothers, spent his life earning a living by the sweat of his brow. He worked an honest days work for an honest days pay. He did this all his life for his family. He was and still is a good friend of mine. He was a "Gentleman" in my book. His labor is over now and he is with "GOD" and his soul is at peace. May the comforter watch over your wonderful family.I look forward to seeing you again,in Heaven my brother. Your friend & Brother Don Stiltner

Condolence: Linda & family, I am sorry for your loss. I enjoyed both Al & Linda so very much, 2 of the best people I've met through Eastern Star. Serving as Secretary with Linda as Treasurer, the 3 of us had many laughs and good times. I'm not sure Al ever forgave me (kidding) for "inspiring" Linda to go through the line. Getting to know "little" Linda was a joy as well.
Condolence From: Pam Basil, Grove City, Ohio
Condolence: I will miss you tremendously Al. Forty-four years ago, I was a kid going to OSU and working part time in the building on 5th Ave with you.
Every day at 5pm, quitting time, you would say,
"TK, keep your knickers up"!
You have always brought a smile to my face, and I pray that God's love is now shining on your face, dear Al. Rest in peace now.
Love you always, TK (The kid)
