I am so sad to hear about Al’s passing. The first time I met him he made me feel welcome to be a part of the family. I loved to listen to him tell all the stories about his family. He shared alot of memories with us. I will miss him dearly.
Al was a kind and thoughtful friend to all of us at the Eli Whitney Museum. He shared his time, his humor, his memories, his treasures. We will miss him. We will not forget him.
To the Morra Family,my condolences at this sad and difficult time,Al was always a pleasure to talk to.Sincerely Joe Ostrum/Donahue & Ostrum
