I had the good fortune to meet him twice, although "meet him" is being generous. The first time was in 65 or 66 when Krux set up outside an anchor store at Thomas Mall to take advantage of all the back to school shopping. He and a few of "The Good Guys" (as the Krux DJ's were billed) were asking trivia questions and handing out prizes. The second time was when they were giving away the albums following the 76 finals loss where I was able to get signatures from some of the players, coaches, trainer and Al. I still have the album although it spent far too many years in my garage to ever be played again. Anyway, treasured memories but like every other Suns fan, wish we could have sent him off with at least one championship.
RIP Al, and thank you.
