    Al was a great guy in many ways. The father to my best friend (Robin). The husband of a sweet lady(Nancy). The one thing I can always say that I will remember about Al is that he was always smiling. Proud of what he had and worked hard for his accomplishments. I loved him like he was a father. A great man who will be sadly missed.

    I send my deepest sympathies to all of you. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. I have known Al many years. Me and his daughter Tonya have been friends over 30 years. He was a kind and loving man. Peace be with you all.

    I would like to send my condolence to the Powell family. In times like this I reflect on the God’s promise in John 5;28,29 of a resurrection of our dead loved ones. I hope this note brings you comfort at this time.
