Sad , sad news…love Al. He was the sweetest of men. A wonderful story teller…:)💔 and to watch him roll a one handed cigarette- pure magic:) https://t.co/2WDSHRzrj0

I will never forget the 2018 night in Snoqualmie Falls when some of the #TwinPeaks cast met out on the veranda of our hotel. With the moon as our light, many stories were told, but it was #AlStrobel that made those stories unforgettable. A sweet soul that will be missed. #rip pic.twitter.com/vaywHPKY5F
