RIP Al

He spent his 19th birthday in a foxhole in the Ardennes.

One week later the Battle of the Bulge began.

This afternoon I had the honor of singing at his memorial service.

He was the sweetest guy you’d ever want to meet.

Rest In Peace, Al, and thank you so much.

   Aw, Al. I’m sure Bingley did a fine job for you, if he didn’t choke up too much. Thank you so much, dear sir and the sweetest of well earned dreams to you and much comfort to your family.
