You didn't hear? Al passed away. I thought you knew. Sorry to have to
be the one to break it to you. I know you guys were close. He always
spoke very highly of you Owen. He wasn't feeling well so he went to the
doctor. By then it was already to late. Stage IV ass cancer. Such a
shame. Another brilliant and compassionate man lost to that horrible
disease. Al's groundbreaking efforts in the fields of woodturning and
missionary work have raised the bar for all of us. We can only hope to
honor his memory by passing along all he has taught us.
