Al was a good neighbour and friend, and a fine person.
I haven’t been over to Vancouver for some time so had not looked in to see Al. Last time we made tea together. He was always such a gentleman. And he got such pleasure in his contacts with his ‘air’ friends.
I’ll be a his service to pay him respect.
