Al was one of the few true gentlemen I have ever met, with the shiniest shoes you had ever seen and he was so kind to me in work and was so sad and shocked to know that he had passed away so suddenly. But having known him, that's probably the way he would have wanted it, make a quick exit still trying to have a good time till the end and hope that's what he did. Al, I will think of you when I finally make my trip to the desert in Petra and will never forget your 'huge' personality. With much love Nicla
