Rita and Family,

Very sorry to hear of Al's passing, he always had smile and a kind word.

Even though I really didn't know Al, knowing his daughter, my dear friend, Christine, (and her daughters) has given me a glimpse into the man that he was through the entertaining stories I have heard. The love and closeness that the Wickham family shares is admirable, and I can only hope that as time passes you may be comforted in knowing you were all so fortunate to have had so much time with such a great man. 

I bet he is enjoying all the delicious donuts he can, with a great cup of coffee, and smiling down on you all :)

Much love,

Sherri Cornelissen

Dear Rita and family,

Diana and I send our condolences for your deep loss.  I believe Al was the only other Yupper at ZAU, I having come from White Pine. I see you are from Ironwood, we made regular trips there to procure our essentials for northwoods living.

Good Luck &  Best Wishes,

Bill & Diana Roller

Dear Rita, & family,

I was not that close to Al till we worked together at Airfone.  We PATCO people seemed to comprise about 80% of the staff in Maintenance Control!   When I married for the second time, the toaster that you & Al gave Sandie & I was more of an importance than usually attributed to such a gift.  We used that proudly for many years.  Blessings on you and your family.

Regards,  Fred Vogelpohl
