Dear Connie and Stacy, We are so sorry that we never got to meet Al. I will remember, though, our Skype visits at Christmas and his always smiling and welcoming visage. Alexa thinks the world of you guys and thought the same about Al. We are so happy for Alexa and Jeff and know that Jeff is a wonderful reflection of his father's values and character. Those values will continue with their union and family to come. Warmest wishes, Bill

Connie, We were very unpleasantly surprised to see the notice of Al's passing. As you may recall, my wife [Kathy Keene] and I were part of the AOI era during Al's tenure. We look back fondly at those days and specifically remember one incident that involved Al. We had a couple of trees in the back of our new home that needed attention. Knowing of Al's background in the woods, I asked whether he might consult with me in exchange for a lunch hour sandwich. He assessed the situation and said that they needed to be attended to and it could done with no damage to the landscaping. We then retired to the house for lunch. After lunch and much to my surprise, he asked whether I was "ready". He said he had his saws and crampons and suggested we get to it. In very short order the backyard was full of tree branches, limbs, et al. I marveled at the way in which he was able to drop the limbs, etc. without damaging any of the landscaping. He regaled me with a commentary on how if he notched it in a particular place, when he cut the tree the bark would result in its falling in a particular place. You can only imagine Kathy's surprise when she returned home that evening to find a yard absolutely full of tree debris. Al was both a talented and wonderful guy. We are so sorry that his life was cut short at such an early age. Our condolences to you and yours! Jack Munro & Kathy Keene.

Connie, Jeff and Stacy, so sorry for your loss. Al left this world much too soon, but it sounds like he had a wonderful life. Jeff's family stories are always humorous and told with much love for all of you. May this time of sorrow be replaced with the joy and anticipation of the upcoming marriage celebration. We look forward to making many new memories. You are in our thoughts.

Hi Connie - It has been a very long time since we all saw each other. The old neighborhood was such a great place and the kids always had someone to play with. We have fond memories of getting together, and those fishing and camping trips, alot of times in the rain. Now the kids are 20 plus years older, as are we (unfortunately). Malinda is fine, engaged, and living in Lake Oswego. Engaged doesn't mean anything because it's been 5 years and still no wedding. Michelle started early, got married to a great guy Matt, and now they have three boys, hopefully they are done. I'm too old to handle 3 at a time! Bob and I are fine, both retired. Just wanted to express our sincere sympathies and sadness on losing Al. He was a great guy, and way too young. Please give a hug to both Jeff and Stacy. Thinking of you all, carol and bob

I had no idea, Connie, that Al was so young when I worked for him. In the intervening years, I have often thought of the pinball games in the office off Sixth Street, our wild trip to Alabama, and when I once drove up the street the wrong way and got a ticket a few years back outside same office, I burst into tears when the cop pulled me over, and not because of the ticket but because of the memories of him and Sam that came flooding back. I had my son Sam with me that day, and I pointed out the office and told him that he was named after one of the guys who used to own the office that was once there. We'll, now those two are sitting in a tree top in heaven, shooting the breeze and reflecting on the many things they accomplished in their short lives. My heart goes out to you and the children, well, that's how I will always remember them. Al and Sam would be happy to know that in recent years I have happily reconnected with Sarah Gomm and Karen Donaldson, and will always cherish the memories of Wilson, Donaldson and the work we did. Hugs. Jo. Please keep me posted on the memorial service; I'd like to come.

Connie, Jeff and Stacy, Don and I were so shocked and sorry to hear of Al's passing. Thank you for sending the obituary. We were out of state and returned in mid-March. Working with Al over the years he was with AOI/OFIC were a real pleasure. He was a true friend and a great mentor, always challenging me, and his trust in my abilities pushed me farther than I ever thought I could go -- and I loved the excitement of that challenge. He had the ability to instill that excitement in all those he came in contact with. Don still talks about working for Al on the logging operation and their friendly competition of always trying to "outwork" the other. One of his favorite memories of Al was at an AOI convention in Ashland where Al, Don and a gentleman for the Oregonian, spent the afternoon with a bottle (or two) of "JD" and remaniscing about the "old days". I seem to recall that they were all a little "under the weather" the next morning! Don and I both had great respect for Al and will truly miss him. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all Connie and we hope that in the coming weeks and months that the many, many memories of Al as a husband and a father will help soften the great loss you are now feeling. Cherious those memories. Love, Don and Carol

We just got back from 3 months in AZ on April 27th. We wish we could have been there to say good-bye to the big guy. We are glad you two made it down for New Year's at the Mangers and were able to stay up till midnight with all of us. We will miss Al's cookies and Key Lime Pie and of course the many, many stories about the food eaten on all of your vacations. Most people tell about the places they saw, Al told about the cafe's and food he ate. He really enjoyed life and we are so glad, Connie, that you and Al got to retire early and do so much traveling. That is why I (Lindy) retired this January and we went down south to enjoy the sun and warm weather because you just don't know when God will call you. Whenever any of us look out over a beautiful forest and enjoying an excellent meal we such think of Al because he will be there too whispering "look at that" and "does'nt that taste great?" God bless you, Connie, Jeff, and Stacy. Love always, Dennis & Lindy

Connie, Jeff and Stacy.... I'm so sorry to hear about Al's passing and especially sorry that it took so long for me to learn about it. I just got word today, more than two months after the fact. Al and Sam were such great mentors to me. I will always fondly remember those early days at WD&A.... becoming the first "associate", those long drives to the PLC meetings, Al's never-ending library of stories... I always marveled at how the same story could be told dozens of different times and the details always were the same... the knock-down, drag out pinball matches at the office and cribbage games on the plane....Al was a great guy, a great boss, a great mentor. While I am sure you are devastated by Al's passing, I hope this note finds you otherwise well. Best thoughts, Timm Locke
