John and I attended Central Junior High together…ran Track (mile relay). I knew John since the 7th grade and ran into him several times after I return from Vietnam. Both of my sons Jeremy and Josh collected and traded baseball cards with Al for a good number of years. I would just like to offer my deepest sympathy to the family for their lost….to us we lost a good friend and a brother in arms. A thoughts and prayers are with all of you…God Bless.
