Al was a great guy to have as a friend. An invaluable asset to his community and the BVFD. Rest in peace, old friend. You’ve earned it.

My deepest condolences over the loss of such a great man. Always enjoyed working with Al on the Honeoye Lake Watershed Task Force.
My heart is so sadden by the loss of Buck. We were not only cousins but best friends sharing our Birthday’s mine on the 21st and his and our other cousin Warren Tessier on the 24th. The three of us all the same age. My heart goes out to all his family that he loved so much. God Bless you all. Put a flower on his casket for me as I am unable to be there to say goodbye.
Al and familyMy thoughts and prayers are with you
Al was my Dad’s (Bill Jackson’s) best friend. I remember him as being one of the most caring and kind men I have ever met. He and my dad helped my son fix up an old El Camino. I was so thankful for that because it brought my son and my dad closer together. But that’s the kind of person Al was he would go out of his way to help anyone. I wish my dad was of sound mind so he could pay his respect but I know in his heart Al will be greatly missed. He will be greatly missed by all that have been lucky enough to have been touch by him.
Marisa,I am so sorry for your loss. I know the feeling you are going through right now as I had the same when both of my parents passed. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. God bless you all.
Matt and family
So sorry for the loss of your Father. He must have lived a Blessed life.
And was a father I heard you always speak Greatly of. The woods will be more solemn without him. He sounds like a man that was proud of his family and everyone that he surrounded himself with.
God BlessButch
My dear Favro’s,You were blessed with 2 of the most wonderful parents children could possibly have. Their wisdom, humor, faith and love guided them every day .They raised 3 of the most wonderful children. They shared their love with everyone they knew, and influenced so many lives. It filled my heart just to be with them just for the short times I saw them over the years. I loved them. As I write this I keep saying “they”, because they were one. I never met 2 people more in love than Caryl and Buck. They are together again, in God’s care, catching up and smiling down on all they that created together, they will be with you all always.
Love you all so much,Aunt Roady
Sending our love and deepest sympathies to you and your family.
Bucky was a one of a kind , his family and friends were everything to him. I’m so lucky to have had him in my life..
My family has been friends with the Favro’s for many many years. Lots of great memories and one of the nicest man I’ve ever known. I hope you’re giving Carol big hugs and I’m sending the family. Lots of love at this transitional time.
