Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
My first job out of college was as an assistant pro at the new Crestview CC. Al and Donna were wonderful people and I am sad to hear of Al’s passing. He was truly a nice person.
Donna, Sorry to hear about the passing of Al. He was a great coach and had a tremendous influence on the professional I have become. I played for Wichita State from 1990-1993 and was even one of our team captains for a couple of years. I was fortunate to travel on quite a few golf trips with Al and learned a lot from him on and off the course. I am sorry I couldn’t make it back to the funeral, but you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Greg Jones Head Golf Professional, Class A PGA member Minnehaha Country Club Sioux Falls, SD
Dear Donna, I was saddened to learn of Al’s passing. He was one of the very classy people that I knew. I will always remember the East High reunion where I was on the golf team with him and we won, thanks to Al. He will be missed by the many friends that he made over the years. With regards, Bob Harris
Dear Mrs. Littleton, I was so sorry today to learn of Al’s passing. I will very much miss our appointments that had much to do with golf and only a tiny bit about oral surgery. Please accept our donation to the junior golf foundation in Al’s memory along with our condolences.
Dear Familiy of Al Littleton, I read with sadness this morning of Al’s passing. He was a remarkable man. My Father spoke of him often and fondly when I was a little girl. He gave Dad insight into his golf game; and did so in such a way that Dad often quoted him and remarked about his pleasant nature. He came into my place of employment a few years back and we had a wonderful visit. He truly was such a pleasant man who will be missed by so many. You certainly have many wonderful memories of him to sustain you. There are many who knew him that smile at the mention of his name. Know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Sincerely, Jinx Saggau Moore
Dear Littleton’s, I am so saddened by the death of Al. I have SO MANY wonderful childhood memories of him and of all of you! Vegas! Crestview! Spending the night at your house! We had such wonderful times. Al even taught my son, Jack golf at WSU many years ago, that was a treat for me! I know how you all feel right now, but hold on to memories of the good times and you will get through it. Much love to all of you,
Dear Mrs. Littleton, I am paying my tributes to you. I send my regards and love to each of you. Sincerely, Robin Messner
