I am so sorry to read about Al's passing.

I knew Al back in the late 70's, early 80's.
One day he came into my office and I noticed his cologne; a very sexy scent. I told him I really liked it and he stepped closer so I could get a good dose. The next time he stopped by he said" Hey, I just took a shower, do you want to smell me?" And I laughed and obliged. Every time he came by it was the same story. This became our own private joke. I miss this scent, it was perfect for him.

The first time I met him he was playing somewhere in a bar, small place somewhere downtown Toronto, must have been 1977, Fall. I didn't know he knew my husband and, after finishing his music, he came over to our table and said hello. I( coming from a very small town and not being exposed to celebrities ) was very impressed and touched that the musician would actually come over during his break and chat.

We both miss him.
