//cathy i just wanted to let the family know that alfonso was one of the people in this family that never made me feel like an outsider..he accepted me as a cousin as soon as he found out i was manuels daughter..he never judged me ..he just wanted to get to know me...and he did..we had so much fun together the few times we were together playing pool at the pine street tavern...and at the blue note or whatever it is now...i cant say what i felt that day.when i heard what happened..i only know a great sorrow overcomes my heart when i thnk of him..i think he would have been the bridge between me and my family.a family i will never know.. |

| Al- Not a day has gone by that I don't think about you and the good times that we shared, sorry to hear about your Mom, I know you are together and at peace. Love and miss you. Anna Mae |

| We would like to say thank you to everyone who has made this wonderful program possible. Al must have been a really great guy for his friends and family to keep this legacy alive in this way. My oldest son Derek won this scholarship while in Middle School. His love of music has grown; partly due to his experience with ALJAM, and the great folks who participate in making it happen. He is now in his Junior year of college and will graduate with a degree in Music Education next year. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!! |

//Mike Hey, Alfonso... Finally set foot in The Schultz Haus...felt the vibe and couldn't stay. (Never went there with ya- had been there before that..) Sad to say I have lost touch with the guys from the Zoo Crew- and Beer Nuts; but hey, life happens. (I am sure you have seen Pete V. up there- I was the last guy he talked to at Bob-Hi....you'll know what I mean) You (and Fuji) will be happy to know I am still playing- and always getting better! Hug your Mom for me- wish I could have known her in this life (good to know I'll meet her someday!). Cheers to ya! |

| Wow! I read a comment I made on June of 2005. I asked you to keep looking out for me. One year later I was in a motorcycle accident. An older gentlemen pulled out in front of me and I hit him broadside at about 55 mph. They told me my body went 100 - 120 feet. I couldn't have been more fortunate. A good friend told me that my guardian angel must have picked me up and put me in the safest place possible. I know that to be true. Thank you....I still think about you a lot as do a ton of other people. Please keep looking after me. I pray that you are at peace. Love you and miss you..cousin Albert. |

//http://www.juliafigueroamusic.com I was very touched by this website. I ran into it by doing a search for grants. I have an 18 year old daughter that is pursuing her dreams in music. She is talented and we as parents are trying to do the most to support her in her journey. She wants to start her own production/recording studio to complete her own work. We have met many in the industry that will help with the condition of her changing who she is as well as her music. She is true to herself and loves doing what she does because music is in her. Please take a listen to her songs which she wrote and composed the melody for on another site: http://www.myspace.com/juliafigueroa so you can truly appreciate her talent. If there is anything that you can do to help her in achieving her goal we will greatly appreciate it. Her goal in life is also to help those that want to share their music with the well. God bless. Respectfully, Jose Figueroa |

I recently got engaged and regret that you and my fiance never even met. I know she would've loved you.

| The most difficult thing in life is putting a value on true friendship. What is a smile and a kind word worth? What is the going rate on compassion and caring? How much does a neutral ear or a shoulder to cry on run these days? Alfonso gave it all freely, without concern for what was in it for him. Friendship. He was Cisco, I was Tonto. Years can never change that. I will forever think of him, and miss him with my whole being. He was a great person, and his memory will be cherished by all who had the good fortune to have known him, and to have been known by him. God Bless. |

//Lucia I have a seven year old son who needs to learn music - at the moment he is being homeschooled as I cannot afford to put him into a good private school which is very expensive and he also needs to learn music - which he enjoys very much. Kindly send me information, a form to apply for scholarship or any help. I did send him to piano classes but had to stop because I do not have the funds. Lucia |

| I didn't know Alfonzo Loera, butI met Kristina last night. The love and excitement that she showed in her conversation with me about Alfonso, was uplifting! Just to hear that he did call on Jesus, before he left this world, showed to me that He is indeed in a much better place! May all of his friends be blessed, and know the Truth because of his example! Blessings.... |

| Very uplifting to read all the comments. As another Al Jam approches, I find myself thinking of him more and more. Allthough it has been a long time I still miss him greatly, but it is also becuase of him that I met so many great people to find comfort in. It is great to have a place where we can all share our thoughts...Love ya Fritz |
| Thursday, September 26th 2002 - 06:51:34 AM |
| I attended Al Jam 2000 and saw my Uncle Scott play. I had a blast, and hope to go to Al Jam 3. I really believe in the cause. I was also fortunate enough to Alfonso play in Beer nuts at the Summer Celebration (when they opened for Stroke 9). I loved it. |
| Saturday, September 21st 2002 - 10:37:36 AM |

| Great Site and a nice tribute to Fritz (aka Al) Amy, you are a Jewel! He would be stunned to think that everyone really loved and care this much about him. My friendship with him resulted in friends that I now consider family. We had our disagreements about numerous things but friends never hold a grudge, except about women!!! Because of my friendship with Fritz, my outlook on life did change after the fact.I just hope that wherever he is, He knows that he made me happy just being my friend! I miss him everyday, and to know that he knew what our friendship really ment. |

| Unfortunately, the first time I had met Alfonso was the night he got shot. I was his first nurse at Hackley ICU. I knew of him from his great friend Scott Nesbit who had continually told me I had to meet this wonderful man and how much everybody loved him. I wish I could have met him and heard him play the music he adored. It makes me feel better to know that God and I had a hand in keeping him alive to give his loved ones some last days with him. |
| Monday, January 7th 2002 - 05:43:29 PM |
| I wish I had the opportunity to know Alfonso before he got sick, form reading this website and viewing all the pictures I can see that he must have been wonderful person. He has some truely remarkable friends who have kept his memory alive. I meet Alfonso when he was at hackley hospital and airlifted him to the University of Michigan in the Survival Flight Helicopter. I beleive all of Muskegon was out that evening to watch him fly off into the evening sky, and I believe his angels flew with us. |
