    Rick-Laurie-Tony and Kelly: My condolences on the loss of Alby. In this very sorrowful time- I empathize with what you are going through as I just lost my own father 2 summers ago. Although I remember Alby{more}from when I was a teenager hanging around the house- he was a "larger than life"- funny guy and a sure to be "missed" gentleman around Secor. May the memories that you carry within; sustain you through this difficult time. Prayers and sympathies to you all.
