My husband and I got to know Al when he became our contractor in 2013. He was with us over 6 months and we got to spend a lot of time with him. He and my husband became fast friends. We were upset when it was time for Al to move on to another job. Al was an honest and hardworking man. He will be sorely missed.

I hired Al as my contractor to upgrade two condos over the years. He was known as a master craftsman & the person everyone wished to have oversee & guide the work being done. He actually performed some of the work when he was able to. He was very skilled.
And to Al’s Family, he spoke fondly of the help & support you gave him after your Mother/Grandmother passed away in 2021.
He will be missed by many.

I owe a plenty to my older brother, Albert. He taught ne a lot growing up, like how to dress right and fix my hair for school and church. He had such a great way of carrying himself, I was always copying him and acting as he did. When we were young, he was closest to the Lord and my other two brothers and I followed him lnto the alter boys at the church. Albert encouraged me to set up a general contractor business in Califoria for a number of years and his guidance helped me make it a success.. With limited space, it is not possible to give Albert credit for all he is due in my upbringing. Just know that I loved and admired Albert my whole live. God bless you , Albert, Please, rest in peace, in the glory of the Lord
Brother Doug
