  9. Al and Family:
    So sorry to hear of Al’s passing. He was a classmate in the Police Academy when we came on to the department. I also worked with him in Internal Affairs. He was a funny and great friend. May he rest in peace with the Lord.

  10. Al. You were always funny to be around. Great sense of humor and an all around good guy. Good times in traffic investigations. Keep ’em laughing up there buddy.

  11. We will miss you Al. We have many happy and funny memories with you and Julie . We know you are pain free and at peace. And we will see you again. Love you my friend
    Our love and hugs to Julie and family

  12. Al was one of a kind! Unforgettable. He and Jules brightened our lives for decades with his stories, Al-isms, and irreverent enjoyment of life. Incredible courage. Order more beer, Lord, it’s Miller Time forever. Love ya Al 💙💙

  13. I loved working with Al at the old District One, where we were sergeants together on the same shift. Al was much older than I was, and never hesitated to assist with those “sergeant” questions. He was funny and always teasing people he liked. One of good guys. Rest in pease my friend. Kimalee Hull

  14. Alan F. Miller
    Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote “A friend may well be reckoned a masterpiece of nature.”
    Al was such a friend, loyal and trusted.
    A complex man with simple ways, who was blessed with clarity and common sense. Steadfast and circumspect, he was a valued advisor and confidant.
    Al was big hearted and generous. He was uniquely gifted as a mentor, teacher and philosopher. He was a great storyteller and often regaled my children with stories, always richly laden with life lessons.
    He was courageous and embodied unwavering southern honor, never petty or unkind.
    But more importantly – unafraid.
    Unafraid of judgement or ridicule, willing to laugh, guide, mentor, show compassion, pursue truth, lead by example, embrace life fully, to love and follow Christ.
    Dear friend, may God give light to your path, and clouds of sorrow never rest upon your journey.
