"Al always gave back to the community -- especially years delivering Meals on Wheels and years at the 3rd base gate for Spring Training at the Peoria Sports Complex . He loved his beautiful bride, his family and those White Socks. We had many times together and shared many laughs and meals. He is missed but definitely will always remain in our hearts. Our sincerest condolences to Sandy and all the Stroner family. Bill & Mary Lue Sipila"
In loving memory of
