It was because of Al taking me under his tutelage that I had a great career at Comed. He was a great guy and I still miss the smell of his cigars.
My deepest condolences to Al's family. Your are in my thoughts and prayers. Al was a great friend and mentor. He always spoke the truth and was loyal to the people he worked with. Thank you Al for everything you did for me!
It takes a village and Mr. and Mrs. Wroblewski were part mine. Mr. "W" thank you for the lessons learned and making the world a better place. Rest in peace.
Sorry to hear of AL'S passing worked many years with him, and he will be greatly missed.
