He will truely be missed, but a lot of wonderful memories we all have. God bless you and our prayers go out to you all. Jason, Jamee, Jordyn, Hailey SickelsDee Finke Micheel

Omaha, Ne Wednesday, January 19, 2011 To Alice - Stacy and I were speaking the other day about Al, it was only then I found out about his passing and was so sad. Wanted to send you a note about remembering your dad. I truly enjoyed spending the time with Al when he would come in for his visits at TVD, what a guy! Still at his age to have such a sweet and kind personality made him one of my most memorable (and favorite) patients. Even now I can picture his sweet smile.. You and your family are in my thoughts and I am glad he and I were able to strike up a friendship - it was always my pleasure to see Al. Take care and god bless ! Peggy Moore
