Memorial contributions can be made to the Greensburg Community High School ℅ Tennis Program at 1000 E. Central Ave, Greensburg, IN 47240.
Al was one of the strongest/toughest men- physically, mentally, emotionally, and psychologically- that i haveever known. I believe Al would have been comfortable leading a wagon train across the deserts and over the mountains, and the pioneers would have been very comfortable with him leading them, knowing that he could handle anything. He will be missed. Condolences to
Carol, the rest of his family, and his friend
