"My thoughts and prayers are with the Hurst family during this difficult time. I was blessed to have worked with Al aka "Stump" in the early 90's at Forsyth County Sheriff's Department. I have MANY fond memories of Al which I will always cherish. He was a great man and a heck of an officer! Rest well my friend. "

"Al was a good friend, he will be missed by all that knew him. We worked together for several years and I learned a lot from him. He talked about Juanita and his kids but sometimes I think he loved his horses more. Anything you wanted to know about a horse, ask Al. Like Dan, I know more about Al and escapades that we had. Al didn?t share a lot of personal information but he was always there when you had a problem or needed help. Stump, we will miss you very much!! Jim Cole"

"Al was my first supervisor at the Sheriffs Office when I went to Uniform Patrol Div. while I have many stories and things that I remember that involve Al, I will be keeping those to myself. There is one remembrance that I would like to share though. Al?s radio number was 208 and while he had that number for a long time ?he almost never used it. Al would come on the radio with that gruff voice and say ?8 Radio? leaving no doubt to anyone within range just who that was. Al I know a lot about you that was not publicly known. Al Hurst was a good man, the mold was broken when he came along. I will forever remember just who ?8 Radio? was."
