Thinking upon my childhood growing up across the street from the Van Story family, I have many wonderful memories of Al and Joyce always saying hello and asking us how we were doing. We were always invited in during the holidays. I loved having my Physical Science class in high school with Avery sitting right behind me. I think we talked more than worked in class. We rode the bus every day after school for years until Avery got his blue "fish bowl". We loved having Alyssa come come over to swim and play. As the years have flown by, it has always been a comforting thought that Joyce and Al were there in the neighborhood. And now that Al has gone ahead of us, it makes me realize how much I took their kindness, their gentle presence, for granted. I am very grateful to know the Van Story family and grateful for all the love, kindness, and generosity they have shown me over these many years. I will always remember each of them with love and respect.
I will always remember Al as a man of great faith. Gentle, loving and giving not only to his family, but toward his church family as well. And he always had a smile - for everyone!
Some know him as Albert but for me he will always be my Uncle Pee Wee. I will always be Junie. Love you Uncle Pee Wee and you will be missed.
What a beautiful tribute to a beautiful soul. Albert set the standard for family man. We are blessed to have had him in our lives.
I miss you Dad... more than words can say.
