I met Al when I came to Olympic View Elem. I served students in his class that needed academic support. Whenever I was in his classroom, his love for all of his students was obvious. His students also loved being “Mr. Prato” kids. Al welcomed the students no matter their ability. My respect and love for Al as a teacher and man began in his classroom.

Al and I became friends and then fishing buddies. We spent many hours on the water together. I didn’t care if I caught anything. Any day spent on the water with Al was a good day. Al was just a good man!

What a wonderful world this would be with more like “Mr. Prato”.

On behalf of the Hannah Family, we are sorry to learn of Mr. Prato's passing. When our family reminisce about Whidbey Island, Mr Prato's name is mentioned by my mother quite often. She used to give him men's Avon products because she thought highly of him as my brother's teacher at Crescent Harbor in the early 70s. Much prayers for his family.

Dear Prato Family, I recently read about the loss of your dear loved one. Although we are not friends acquainted personally, please accept my condolences. I am sorry for your loss. Losing a loved one is one of the most difficult things we can experience. May you find comfort in the memories you shared together and the Bible's promise that soon dearth will be no more (Revelation 21:3&4). Our loving God Jehovah has given us this encouraging promise for the future.
