  1. Al was always there for me…no matter what I needed or when I needed it, he would always come. I was there when Al and Lori met. I told her right then that he was “the one.” I’m going to miss my crazy, obnoxious, loud, loving, caring, kind brother-in law. He was the best!!!

  2. Our heartfelt condolences to Lori Adams, Samantha and Daniel. May GOD bring you comfort and peace and may the memories of Al be with you always. John and Jean van Biezen

  3. Lori and Sam, there are no words to express our sorrow. Al was always so good to Bailey and he was always wonderful when she had vehicle troubles…you guys were so often her home away from home. Sending so much love to you guys.

  4. I came home from jr. high school suffering some type of early teen angst. I don’t even remember what it was but I was walking around sad and angry. Then my big brother started picking on me. He would not let up. Finally I took a swing at him as brothers do. (Not that I ever had a chance of landing a punch). He laughed and flashed that magic smile of his and said: “I bet you feel better now don’t you?” And I did. He was a good man.
