Al!!!! Im just reading this and as sad as I am that you have to go... I am even more devasted that I could not say "Goodbye" in the proper way! You are the most charismatic, adventurous and outspoken man I have ever had the pleasure to know, especially on a personal level. Nothing but kind words and awesome jokes between us, and I assure you I will ALWAYS me here when you need me. I hope so much to see you again and as for you being in a dark place, remember this... " Even in a dark room a rose will bloom"... I will miss you dearly!!! My Davey!!!
Although we never chatted directly, your brash, unapologetic, & witty remarks have produced many a chuckle from me on otherwise mundane afternoons. Best of luck Al, wherever life may take you.
I totally understand just how AL feels.... I have been in the business for a number of years, and I think my outlook and avenues are expanding far beyond just this.
This helped me buy my 1st home, and pay off major debt, but somewhere out there is a whole new world for me to explore.
