A good man gone! Al was a unique individual. But, if he called you a friend, you were a friend for life.

Rest in peace, my friend!

So sorry to hear this. Al tied the frames on my old Dodge and fabricated numerous parts for me over the years. He had a dry sarcastic sense of humor and alot of good stories. He was fun to race and pit with.

Gods speed old friend.

I’m blessed to have known Al and been witness to a few Al stories. He was one of a kind, a great American, a good friend, and a kind hearted person. Being in Topeka when he won Superstock and celebrating with him (and a bunch of stock/superstock pillars) is a top 5 on my all time drag racing memories. Thanks Al. Godspeed.

PS-Whenever I see a q-jet carb, I see Al pulling metering rods from his shirt pocket with a little notebook……….and some words of wisdom.
