Al became a part of our family because he and Joan Mihelich shared their last season together. There were many family dinners, weddings, baptisms that Al shared with the extended Mihelich family. Al always greeted me with a kiss, a hug and smile. He and Joan kept busy with dancing, traveling and just enjoying each others company. Al will be sorely missed, He holds a special place in our heart. My condelences to the Papish family. Terryl Jensen
