I am so sorry to hear of Al's passing. I ordered plants from him at almost all the places he worked around west Michigan. He was always smiling and had that great laugh too! He will be missed! Barbara Balgoyen

Condolences Patti & family for your loss. Al was always a nice guy. We graduated from SL in '74, played football and banged around together thru our high school years. He was smart, always a gentleman & loved to share a laugh. Sorry to hear the "Big Bear" passed.

Patti,
I am so sorry to hear about Al’s passing. I really enjoyed the years we worked together at the nursery. I will always remember Big Al for his contagious smile, love for volleyball and how he got me hooked and blueberry doughnuts. His kindness, humor and spirit will never be forgotten. My heart goes out to you and the family during this difficult time.
Sincerely,
Miranda Swifney

Big Al will surely be missed. Al was a great friend and co worker. He was always happy when he saw others happy, a rare trait in this world. At Northland Farms he was our good moral guy always brought a good vibe. Al was always willing to do what needed to be done and help a friend. Love you Brother Al! The Greg Helsen Family
