Very sorry for your loss Barb. Keeping you in my prayers.
God Bless you Al,I will always remember your stories of what things were like when you were young.
I remember Mr. Neilson as our milk inspector many, many years ago. Always fair in performing his duties , and also enjoyed my mother’s fresh pies on occasion.
Sympathies to the family.
So sorry to here about your dad. He was two doors down from my dad. Enjoyed talking to him when I went in. Thoughts and prayers to your family.
Barb, sorry for your loss. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. May the wonderful memories of your father get you through this time of grief.
Barb, sorry for your loss. Rarely do I go online into the Daily Record, but I did this morning….reading about your Father’s passing. I remember many conversations with your parents before/after the Church Service at Wooster United Methodist Church. They were such gracious and kind people. Hopefully you and your family feel God’s presence in the days and weeks to come.
We are so sorry for your loss. Please accept our sympathy.
We were sorry to hear the sad news about Al from Dorothy. Knowing he had a good life, with many friends, will hopefully help his family and friends through these sad times. There are many amusing Al stories we remember, including when someone said they would love to see a car race between notorious slow drivers Al and Jim Miley! Our sincere condolences to the family.
Sorry for your loss
It was a privilege and an honor
To know him and talk to him
He will be deeply missed
Rest in peace my friend
Sorry for your loss. Hoping the family memories will keep him close during this difficult time.
We are so sorry to hear the news Barb and Ron. I just learned today of Uncle Al’s passing. There were some mighty good times growing up in Boyerville and he will be missed.
Dear Barb, So sorry for your loss and I’ll be praying for you and your family.
