Al was a wonderful soul. He touched the lives of so many with his words of wisdom. He always took the time to listen and help those who needed assistants – No matter how many times you went crying or frustrated to Al – he would stop and help. His Blue/Green eyes were like that of the ocean so looking into them would calm you down. He never spoke a bad word about anyone, he always found the good.
He loved life to it’s fullest. He loved his family deeply and Oh his grand daughter was Grandpa’s little doll.
He will be greatly missed by so many and thought of often.
Peace be with the family during this time.
My prayers of comfort and peace are for your family. I work closely with CoCo. She often speaks of her Dad and how much she loved him.
Allen you will be misssed.
I wanted to tell you my husband and I came upon the situation by ace hardware, we were biking and stopped to see what was going on, I saw medical people working on your husband, I immediately started praying for him and any family he had. They do such a wonderful job in helping people, I just kept praying for God to be with him. We have a place in breezy also, I was glad I was there talking to God, so your husband was not alone. May Gods peace be with you.
Thank you so much for being there and praying and sharing this Jean. I am Alan’s sister. It gives us peace in our hearts to know you were praying for Alan and his family. I sell pulltabs at Dockside and am very fortunate to know 3 of the first responders that were there with Alan as they work at the resort as well. They are wonderful and caring people as are you. Thank you so very very much.
My prayers are with his family.
I know that I can speak for all of the employees and staff at Costco #372 and tell you how sad we are at the loss of our friend and co-worker, Al. He has always been a wonderful friend to all he met, both to members and employees. Al was always there to talk and boy did he like to talk, but he was there to listen as well. My thoughts and prayers are with you and the family. Al will be missed by so many as he was loved by all that he met. Good Bye my Buddy Al, I will miss you and know that you will always be in my heart and mind as well as those lives that you touched at #372. Kris, Tiffany & Coco, God Bless you and we will be there to support you. With all our love! Jean Frank Coon Rapids Costco
