I was very sorry to hear the sad news that my friend and coworker “ Big Al “ had passed away.
We worked together at Excellus before I retired in 2018.
I will miss his smile , sense of humor and occasional serenades with his guitar .
My favorite memory was when he was doing his annual work review .
It was entitled “ Celebrate You “. It was an opportunity to impress the boss with his annual career related accomplishments .
After much procrastination, on the day it was due , Al typed “ Hip Hip Hooray “ on the form and sent it to the boss.
The boss wasn’t impressed but I sure was ! That was Al !
He enhanced my life and will always be thought of with respect and dignity.
My sincere condolences to his beloved wife Christine , family and friends !
