I am just shattered today. Al, as a young Constable, I met you when we batted together at the Vic Pol Cricket Club. You immediately took me under your wing, and taught me sportsmanship and humility and was there for me, throughout my early police career, as a mentor, and a confidant. You invited me to call you at any time with anything, and then told me off if I didn't. I was then thrilled when I found out you were joining the CV umpires panes. The influence you have had on everyone in Victorian umpiring speaks for itself. Our president, our mentor, our mate. Farewell Al, till we meet again.
To Sue, we are all devastated for you and your family. We are always there for you.
