    Al was such a special friend in so many ways. Aside from all your wonderful family, Al was such a kind helper to us so many times. He was a dear man, always kind and smiling and soft-spoken. He corrected problems and built things that we always knew would be done perfectly. He was such a great craftsman.We count ourselves blessed to have known Al in so many ways.It brings a smile to my face when I think of my dad,Fred Jackson, with aAl and the other Boosters having fun and working together to help the school and teams.Each one of our family members have special memories with Al that we will all treasure.Nila, we are so sorry for your loss. He was such a good man.Please share our sympathy to all the family. Love to all, Jim and Debbie Abrams
