Buddy and The Williams’ family, both Gail and I are saddened to hear about your recent loss of Al. He was a great “ boating friend “ and we’ll have fond a fun memories of him and his quick jokes and sense of humor ! He was a great man. Now he is with his beloved Gail. God bless them both.
Moving to Florida mid 2015, my new next door neighbors was Al & Gale! Al took us around the neighborhood and the area to make us feel at home. Al then ask me to join the Wednesday church group with his friend Norm! Code for: to go down to Homosassa River to have a couple beers. Later the church group under Al’s leadership, the group became many members! Al, so many laughs and good times, what a fabulous friend, overall great person!
REVELATION 21:4 “AND HE WILL WIPE OUT EVERY TEAR FROM THEIR EYES, AND DEATH WILL BE NO MORE, NEITHER WILL MOURNING NOR OUTCRY NOR PAIN BE ANYMORE.
I hope this beautiful promise of God to resurrect the dead here on earth fill your hearts with comfort and peace, soon we’ll hug them again.
It was a pleasure to know and care for AL! He will be very missed and thought of often.
Condolences to the entire family. Brother was my cousin (Al) and was a great loving person. He will be missed . Sending prayers to all .
Al and I became good friends while living in Florida. Every Wednesday at noon ( not a minute earlier or a minute later) if you knew Al,we would go for a couple beers with a group of friends. He became know as 2 o’clock Al because he always reminded us that he needed to be home by 2 because Gail was cooking lunch. We had so many laughs and always looked forward to those outings. Al was just a great person full of joy to be around. You will be missed my friend.
to the Williams family,
My husband, (Bob Perry) and Al were childhood friends from the Sabin Point area and grew up together. In our teen years, we often double-dated, and Al served as an usher at our wedding. He was one of my favorites among Bobby’s friends. Bobby will always think of him as “Brother” Williams. Rest in peace brother until we meet again!

To Buddy, Heidi and Susan and the rest of the Williams family, my thoughts are with you all as you mourn your Dad. I affectionally called him Pop which is what we decided would be a good name for him. He was quite the jokester. He pulled the “pull my finger” trick on me the first time I met him and of course I fell for it. Him and Gail were like my second set of parents. Always treating me like as part of their family. I will always be grateful for the time I spent with them. I’ll miss you Pop. Love Wendy
