Joyce,
Please accept our heartfelt sympathy. We were the 4 people sitting next to you all at the race on Sat. Mike, Machelle, Tom and Chuck. We only knew Al for that brief time but he truly touched us with his zest for life and for racing. You both were great people to spend an afternoon with and we treasure that time we had.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the family as you try to carry on.
Sincerely,
Mike, Machelle, Tom, and Chuck
