I'm deeply sadened to hear of Alphones passing. I haven't seen him in years but I still remember his laugh and his joy of life. I knew him in high school and had little contact with him the years that followed as distance and time seperated us. I was happy to hear about his family and friends at work and knew him to be a devoted father. He will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I have not seen Al in close to 25 years, but there was a time when we were as thick as thieves. He was a great friend and I will miss not having the opportunity to reconnect with him. I will however hold close the memories of days spent running through the woods and fishing along the banks of the Mississippi. To Alex, Maria and Chris thank you for allowing me to have been a part of your family. To Alexandra and Anthony I can only imagine how great you both must be having had Alphonse as a father. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers for some time to come.
