I worked with Al many years ago at Thom McAn. Great guy… many great shoe store memories. He worked very hard to support his young family. Last I knew, he was living in Belton. I had no idea that he was now living in Overland Park…. I would have loved to connect with him. Very sorry to hear that he passed away at such a young age.
