Al was such a great neighbor and friend to my family. My favorite memories were playing basketball with Al against Blair and Tommy Maynard in our driveway. Rest In Peace Al.
Your friend,

Al or "Big Al" as we knew him was an outstanding mechanic and a tremendous friend. We worked together on the L1011 flight line for Lockheed Aircraft and we rented a house together and we were roommates for few years. One of our most cherish memory amongst the many we have happen in late December 1973 at night on the flight line. It was very cold on the high desert and we were assigned to install blanket on the cargo skin. We had to glue plastic fasteners (nick named Christmas tree) on the bare metal first before installing the blankets. However neither one of us realized that the epoxy we were using was not rated for a below zero temperature so as fast as we glued them they fell down. Both of us started laughing hysterically at our failure to successfully plant Christmas trees.
In our many telephone calls over the years that Christmas tree story always came up.
Big Al, I will miss our calls to catch up in our lives. You were a big part of my youth and you have a special place in my heart.
Until we see each other in the hereafter Rest In Peace old friend.❤️
Al was a sweetheart at helping me with my brother, Bill Steward when my brother had a very bad accident. He ended up having to have brain surgery to get blood off of his brain. Al was there to help me with his bills and etc. I know he even mowed my brother's grass since he was not physically able to and I lived 3 hours away. He would always cheer me up when I was feeling down! I will miss him greatly! He always made a funny comment to make me laugh. Guess you can make everyone in Heaven happy now! Love ya, your friend Linda Watson
We mainly know Al through his twin brother. We well remember when Grigs was having heart surgery, Al was right there the whole time with hope for his brother. May God give comfort to his family, to his co-workers who have known him so well. His legacy he has left in the lives of people.
