    We are extremely sadden by the news of Al’s passing. Please accept our deepest condolences. We have so many great memories of him from Crane’s. One year we dressed up for a Halloween contest and Al went as Don King and I dressed up as his prize fighter Christy Martin. We didn’t win a prize but we had so much fun. Al was a great person and friend. He will be missed very much. Love John and Sally Tully”

    Al was a gentleman with a big heart. He has most certainly earned a place in heaven. He will be missed by many I’m sure. I consider it an honor to have called him a friend. My condolences to Al’s family and friends. Martin @Transdev.
