Never have the right words to say.I met Al back in the days of Sears and we became instant friends. With his help I was able to learn so much in the sales world and drew me into the golfing world along with Steve. We became a trio of guys who loved to try a new course week after week and in the long winters we got into the world of indoor golf simulators and that was so much fun. I remember when he told Steve and I about his health issue. I have to say it drove him more to do more and enjoy every day. We had many weekend get togethers at Steve's and Al's home playing board games, darts lawn bowl and lawn darts.. Rita...I look back at so many memories with pictures of all of us. Al will be so missed but never forgotten and when the time comes I and Steve will honor his memory in a game of golf.. Thanks Al for all that you taught me in sales and on the golf course..be safe and one day I hope we meet again. Scott - Posted by: Scott and Annette Petrowski (Friends) on: Jan 02, 2021
