Governor Linda Lawther credited Al with mentoring her and many others. She also extended greetings from the Ypsilanti club. Clar Dukes also knew Al for a very long time. He thanked Joe Medrano for a poem relating to shared loss. Sherry Springer saw his great friend Al at the Past President’s Picnic last Wednesday. Lynne Lande remarked on all her great memories of Al, especially his encouragement during her presidencies. Bob Carr thought of the resemblance between Al and the life-sized wooden eagle he posed next to at the Past President’s Picnic. John Dahl thanked Bob Gray for the slide show honoring Al, which displayed continuously during the meeting.

Our Sponsored Programs… Service to Youth:
Presentations... George Gilligan wrote a tribute to Al Dailey, read by John Dahl. He praised
Al’s leadership on many fronts and thought his spirit and enthusiasm will remain with
us. George’s comments are presented here:
It was a shock to hear of Al’s untimely passing. He was a pillar of the Michigan Kiwanis community and wore many hats in doing the work of Kiwanis at the State level, in our Club
and other clubs he served as President. Al followed me in my Presidency of our Club and we discussed many issues over the years concerning Kiwanis and how we can do a better job of serving others. His way of taking complicated issues and breaking them down to
more simplistic issues was legendary. Al didn’t suffer fools, and didn’t like long, drawn out meetings, but would rather define the issue and get on with it. He was a good friend who did excellent work and will be sorely missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing and
working with him. Al’s Kiwanis spirit and enthusiasm will remain with us although he is no
longer among us. May he rest in peace.
Ann Mattson read her own tribute to Al’s effect on local, state, and international Kiwanis. He was president of
the club in 2005-06. He published our weekly newsletter. He was Executive Director of the Michigan District for
years. This year he was serving as Chair of the Sale Management Oversight Committee (SMOC) and was a mem-ber of the Budget and Finance, Long-Range Planning, and Kiwanis of Michigan Foundation Committees. He spear-headed our efforts in the Kids Against Hunger Program and much more. Al’s wife Sue is a volunteer and his
grandson Greg has started volunteering. He chaired Sue Petresin’s campaign for a seat on the board of Kiwanis International and her successful campaign for KI president-elect. He was also a kind and gentle person, appreciat-
ed by all.
