My wife Debi and I are very sorry to hear of the passing of Al. I worked at Alliant Energy with Al for many years. Debi says that Al was always happy to give her a hug at Christmas parties and employee gatherings. He was a big man with a big heart. He often mentioned his children Amber and Carson and talked about his grandchildren in the later years. I will not be able to attend the service as I have other commitments this Saturday. I have been thinking of Al and his family the last few days. My condolences on your loss. Sid Ballweg
