I had the pleasure of working with Al at the City of Fargo. Sorry to hear of his passing. Condolences to the family.
I remembered Al being such a nice guy. He always smiled and said “hello,” when Scott and I were out playing in the yard, or down in their basement watching “Batman,” when we were little. My condolences to his family and friends.
