Big Al you will be missed! So many happy memories of working with you at Kelly Carpet Cleaning. I remember Yvette laughing at us backing out of your driveway at 8 a.m. on a Sunday morning going to a carpet cleaning job singing JESUS JESUS JESUS (along to your favourite tape Barbara Mandrell and the Mandrell Sisters) at the top of our lungs. Your kindness, humour and generosity were so much appreciated old pal. Thanks for the laughs, and whatever “Mary said to the Sailor”.
Love You
Big Vic
