Alfred Mendel Jr. Obituary

I knew Al though the fire department, he was with company 7, in Bridgeport, and I was with Co 9 on west 10th street, we went to a lot of functions, fought fires together, he was a great fireman, a wonderful person to know,, bless his family, we will miss you my friend!!!!Bev

Al was a great firefighter with Wayne Twp serving many years at the Bridgeport Station #7 He also shared his many talents assisting the Indiana Volunteer Firefighters Association for many years. Al was one of those who would do any thing he could to help where ever he was, and was never lost for words and always quick to say thank you to others. I only knew him via the fire service but I expect he was the same at any thing he did in life. To his wife Patty and family our prayers go out to you, he will be missed by all. He is home with his lord today and for sure visiting with all those Volunteers (and family members) who have gone before him.

Pat, So sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and the family

I remember the winter Saturday nights watching High school basketball at your in-law's house with a cascade of family and friends in the 1960's. That was my first encounter with your loving, kind soul.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

I just would like to thank God for allowing Al to be such a big part my family my heart. You will always be like a second father to me and you will always be remembered in my heart my grandson's heart.
Thank you for showing your kindness to my family
I'm just simply broken to hear that you are gone but in my heart I know my Whitney will be there to greet you she adored you and thank you for again all your kindness.
Every night when it turns 9:00 pm I will always think of having watermelon with you and Patty.
I love you and will miss you dearly.
RIH Al

Rest in peace Al lots of of good time’s

I will miss him so much. We always bickered like crazy when we were young. But became great friends as adults. My husband and I traveled with Al and Patti in RV's a couple years and I have such wonderful memories from those experiences. Al was a good man, a great husband, and a wonderful family man. I feel privileged to have called him my brother.
