Al's touching tribute comes after he revealed the heartbreaking way he delivered his cancer diagnosis to his devastated family.
The much-loved weatherman revealed in November that he had been diagnosed with prostate cancer in September, and in a new joint interview with his wife Deborah Roberts in People magazine, he explained how he delivered the upsetting news to his loved ones.
Al had to break the news to both his wife and the rest of his family including daughter Courtney, 33, from his first marriage, and the children he shares with Deborah - daughter, Leila, 22, and son, Nick, 18. It was his wife who took it the worst.

"My heart just sank to my toes," she said. "Because it never even occurred to me that there was anything serious. When he said, 'It's cancer,' I just lost it."
The TV personality couldn't tell his children face to face and had to do it via Zoom. "There were tears but they rallied around," Al said.
Al was able to have successful surgery in November and in January he received the good news that his cancer was "considered undetectable".
