This man was a soldier’s soldier. He was very kind and effective in his associations to those he served, the men under his command. I was one. It was in Vietnam in 1967-68. I think this is where he made E-8. He was our first sergeant for a time. He just made me feel good even though the situation was terrible. The men of our Airborne infantry company respected and loved him. He was the Golden Knights. As he explained, trying to get me to the Knights, the Golden Knights were Army ambassadors to the world. This nation was very lucky to have such a man serve this country so well. I’ll never forget.

Jean, Marilyn and I send our sympathy and condolences to You and Your Family! We are sorry for Your loss. Know that You are in our thoughts and prayers. Al was a Great Patriot that truly loved Our Country! ... Al and I served together as 'Original' Golden Knights, on The Elite U.S. Army Parachute Team in 1960 and 1961. We, as an 'Original' Team, were 19 in number! He was a very accomplished Sky Diver. We once linked up in the air, from two separate aircraft,one in trail behind the other! I have fond memories of my Old Friend and fellow Team Mate,Al. He will be missed ,but never forgotten! May GOD Bless You and The Family and ease this pain period for You!
