RIP Al, I will always remember your smiling face. You would pick up Jane after her hair appointment and come in to chat. We did this for years, you and Jane became part of my salon family and friends. To Jeannine, Diane and Rita it is hard to loose a dad but knowing he is no longer suffering will hopefully give you inner peace. We have to focus on the happy memories. One day we can all party up in heaven. Go par the course at Heaven CC Al !
