Al was one of my best drivers. He was always dependable. His kind demeanor was like a breath of fresh air. Rest in peace pal and I will see you some day on the other side. Condolences to family and friends
I was very sorry to hear of the passing of Al Klink. He was always very kind to me in our school and church encounters. When we were very new to Annunciation, my son graduated kindergarten. I was the only one able to attend. Since this was in the days of cameras, not cell phones, I had no pictures of my son and me together. Al came up to us in the schoolyard, said we needed a picture together, and he took the picture. That is why I have that valuable photo/reminder today. My very deepest condolences to his equally kind family.

Al the "Colonel" Klink was one of the finest men I have had the pleasure of employing. This kind and gentle soul had customers laughing all the way to the airport.

I enjoyed our Friday night time together. I will miss the the laughs & good times we had. My heart goes out to Al’s family. Rest in peace Al.
Yesterday I spoke with my neighbor, a young man who worked with Al at Canals Liquor many years ago. He and his brother, who also worked with Al, said they toasted Al with a few beers and reminisced about the great times they had with him. It made me think we should live our lives so that when we die, people of another generation, with whom we had a brief acquaintance, will remember us with a smile and a raise a glass to us. God bless you, Al, you touched many lives and warmed many hearts.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. He always had a kind word for Janell when she was an altar server and sent us off with a smile every Sunday after mass. May God smile on him now for all the kindness he showed others.
Gonna miss u and our weekly talks keep watching over me. And look for jordan
We are deeply sorry for your loss. The closeness that you share as a family is a blessing and may the fondest of memories get you through this difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers for strength and comfort are with you. Love, John and Carmela
Al & I were neighbors and the best of friends for 54 years. We joined American Legion Post 133 in Woodbury together on the same day 33 years ago, and spent many great times there playing pool, shuffleboard. horseshoes, and darts with all the friends made there over those years. Those were just a few of the many great times Al and I shared together, and I will miss him badly. He was a very loving husband, father, grandfather and friend...the best!
My sincerest condolences to his entire family. ROY BRIGGS
