I met Al in St. Cloud, Kathleen was in college and she took me to this place, where she wanted me to meet a drummer in the band. First thing I thought he was a very talented drummer; had a great personality and was very easy to be friends with, the first thing I said to him if he knew John Bonham drummer for Led Zeppelin; he said he was the best, I knew at that time we were friends. I always appreciated his talent in music. He was my kind of friend to hang out with; Kathy you picked the right person; you know beside Kathleen,I may have been the first person to meet Al in family; every time I listen to "Bonham" I will always think of you Al. love you always Al, Keep the drums going; Ron

I have so many fond memories of Al Bakke. The first time I met Al was back in the early 70’s. Here was this muscular, mustachioed, Afro haired drummer my sister Kathy brought home, who I was in awe of...and I have to admit was a little afraid of, as he was so tough looking. It didn’t take long to learn that he was just this wonderful, gentle, humble and lovable person that had the most infectious smile and laugh. Family holidays and events were so fun with Big Al there. The many games of ‘in-between’ cards and other betting games that we played will always warm my heart when I think of them. Al was always about family first. I will miss my brother, but have so many memories in my heart that will help carry me until we meet again. I love you Big Al.

Al had the best attitude of anyone I have ever met . He was born with limited vision but you couldn’t tell because he was so positive and always so happy to see you . I’m grateful to him for his advice and counsel he provided me about life’s challenges. I will miss his humor and stories he told about being in a band . One of the best humans I have had the pleasure to meet. He made everyone feel good about themselves. We lost not only Rock star but a shining star!!!
