Uncle Al will be dearly missed and fondly remembered. I always enjoyed working with him whether it be Haying, Fencing, Spraying weeds or Calving. He always had a smile and a story to tell. I hope the weather is good for flying wherever you are Uncle Al.

Flew many missions with Uncle Al and I can say his quiet competence and unassuming attitude made every one of them a privilege to be onboard with. I also truly enjoyed his company in the quiet moments, sitting around the table in the hangar, sharing stories and perspectives. I hope where he is flying now, the air is clean and the visibility is unlimited. Go with God Al, you completed your mission gracefully here.

Al, known as ‘Uncle Al’ to our family was a dear friend and great person to know. He helped us many times on the ranch, fixing fence, during calving season and sometimes during hay season. The world has lost a great man we are proud to call FRIEND. Rest in Peace Al, you and Ron can share visits in Heaven. Vonne Schatz family.

Sometimes someone comes into your life through fate and even though they don’t play a huge part in your life and are somewhat in the background, you know they are there and you are comforted by the knowledge that they are. This was the case with my husband’s Uncle Al. He was one of the most humble and decent men I know. He treated my husband more like a son than a nephew and quietly taught him and my children what it means to live a life of purpose with strength and dignity.
In the last few years Al was ailing, but when we would visit him, he was cheerful. We always had good, interesting conversations with him with funny stories and laughs. Although his loss is keenly felt and his quiet presence is gone, the memories and lessons remain. Rest in Peace, Alan. We love you.

Al was a Brother in Arms, Mentor and friend. His laugh and quick whit, as well as his knowledge of life will be missed by all who knew him. Rest in Peace!
