I worked at Dina,s Quality Market in Negaunee for many years
and Dina and I always looked forward to Al,s comming in with
the delivery of bread and rolls. We always called him "Bunny
Hop"!! He sure was a wonderful man, and some one I will
always remember.

As
a young boy all my Uncles were my heros. My Uncle Jim was special
to me' it was on spring lake he would let me pilot his boat
around, fish from & also learnd to water ski.Up in the U.P.
at "the farm " with my parents we would visit and enjoy the
beauty and bounty of the farm. We would "us boys " my brother
and a frind or two, would race up to The high medow and view
lake Superior.Eat thimble berry's, apples,and black berry's
until we would get a sore gut.Learn to Shoot a .22 rifle at
tin can's and old cup's under supervision of Uncle Jim or uncle
Merrion . I enjoyed the music U.J. would play on his mandolin.
Uncle Jim liked classic country and western like Johnny Cash.
Uncle Jim was a real war Hero fighting the "G.D. Japs"His word's,
He and My Uncle Hugo had quite a time on Sipan.He would tell
of daily air raids from zero fighters straffing them or being
pined down to the ground by sniper fire until nightfall. To
me he was a man's Man.Self relient and proud I wanted to be
like Him. I will remember him and miss him sorely and I will
share his story's that he shared with me. Godspeed dear Uncle.

Years
ago "Al" delivered bread to my parent's business, the Viga Bowling
Alleys in Negaunee. I was little more than a child but looked
forward to his deliveries. Such a wonderful person, always ready
with a smile for by brother and me. I recognized his picture
immediately....don't even know if I ever knew his last name.
Please accept my sincere condolences.

So
sorry about the loss of your dad. May God comfort you in your
time of sorrow. I was very saddened by his death as it happened
to be on the 3 year anniversary of my own dad's death. My thoughts
