  • Jim Coates  - Time Passes but Memories linger
    To Nancy, family & friends, I remember growing up in the Belvidere section of Lowell back in the 1960's, where I was fortunate to have known both Al and his brother Artie who lived on the corner of Harris & Andover Streets back then. They were both very friendly and easy going and really enjoyed Guitars and the music of the 60's that we grew up with. Would often see Al and Artie at Vee's Restaurant on High Street where everyone seem to hang out. I was not fortunate enough to have kept in touch with Al as the years passed, but can see in his eyes that he continued to be a caring, happy person to all who knew and loved him. Sorry for your loss. Jim Coates Lowell, Ma
