I spent a lot of time with Al over the past 2 or 3 years and there was never a dull moment! When we worked at Closet Craft together that was the best time of my life, workin with Al was an experience that will have a place in my heart forever. Al would make a bad day into a bright and beautiful one. Al always wanted to go, go,go, he would work till the sun went down. When we got laid off from Closet Craft. i started at Plumrose USA.
