Cars, Al and Life

Al Gibb was many things to many people over the years, and also maintained a rich and colorful outlook on the world around him. You were in for a great story when he decided to share his insights or ideas with you. However, all you had to do was watch, and not even wait for a story, to understand the nature of this special man. For instance, as kids and young adults we would joke that Al kept his cars, along with the lawn and his house, in such pristine condition. He would toss out perfectly good car batteries and hoses because in his mind, it was time for them to go. Of course, Al always had the last laugh because his cars NEVER broke down and when he sold them, no matter their age, people lined up to buy one from him. Well, it took years to understand, but that same care and attention to detail was what he put in to people too, and he could read them like books because nothing slipped by him. He was from the "do it right" generation - a group that met their obligations, loved their families and worked hard day after day forever. I feel sorry for my best friend and all his family - as well as each of you that knew and miss Al. However, I am also thankful for the many years I was able to laugh with him and learn from him. Al, wherever you are now I hope there is a nice new shiny Lincoln for you and no foreign cars on the road! God Bless you "A".
