Al was a neighbor and a really good guy. He was always up for a Hurricanes game or just a social gathering. He cared about others and enjoyed a party. Even my 30 something Children remember him as the guy with the biggest candy bars at Halloween. He will truly be missed but not forgotten.

Very sad to hear of the passing of “Big Al”. First met Al at Oppenheimer in Ft. Lauderdale. Al participated in the company softball team and was a hearty participant at the post game victory parties at Smith Brothers Lounge! While at Shearson Lehman, Al hired me as a liaison in the muni trading department and that began my 32 year career in munis. Al also bailed me out of a personal financial situation, which I remain grateful for to this very day.
RIP Big Al!!
