I went to grade school Our Lady of Mount Carmel with albert. He was really a fun guy. Iam sure he will be missed by all of his friends and family.
Please accept our sympathies on the death of Al Arno. As kids, we lived on the same block in North Saint Louis. I did not realize at the time that those were good years. We all played together, our parents knew each other and life was good. May God grant you all a grief that is one of love, peace, and comfort. Al was a GREAT guy.
