Glodia & Family, Please accept our deepest sympathy in the passing of Al. With Dick and son Don in the polka music we have many fond memories of listening to Al preforming with various bands. May God be with you in this difficult time.

Our deepest sympathy to all of the family. We enjoyed meeting Mr. Christian at the church in Highland when he would be there with Melissa, Jesse, Mason, and Megan on many special occasions. Once he rode off after church on his motorcycle with Melissa riding behind him. We also now see where some of the musical talent comes from in the Decker family. God's blessings to all of you in this difficult time. Edward and Julie Koss
