So sorry for your loss. Growing up in Broadview, my sister and I were best friends with Mr. Sucha’s daughter Deb. I have so many great memories spending our days playing at each others homes. Mr. Sucha was always so nice to us and had a great sense of humor. He will be greatly missed. Sending comfort at such a difficult time.
So many years later now but the goodness of the past memories still remain. “Uncle Al” was always favorably echoed and we all will remember him fondly. We are sorry for your loss.
