My first encounter with Al was one for the books. I meet Al five minutes before getting in my friends truck to drive to Chicago from New York.. first impressions were not great.. he was shot out of a cannon that day... I was thinking, oh boy, this is going to be a LOOOONG drive... By the time we pulled into Chicago.... We were all thick as thieves and I had a life long friend... Al's passion for pinball was unparalleled.. never have I met someone so into pinball in my life. Our second outing to Chicago Al couldn't drive out so he flew in, without a hotel reservation so Me and my friend Dennis put AL up in our hotel room we bought a cot and the madness begun... Al made everything an Adventure.. Al got us a private tour to the Stern factory where he let everyone know what he thought about the quality of their parts.... I could go on.... he was a legend.
You will be missed Uncle AL.. we lost a brother today...
