If you think about it - The meaning or definition of a word can have real depth. It can help you measure, evaluate, gauge, determine or bring clairty to decisions, situations and circumstances in life.

Take a monent and think about what the words; Love, Honor, Cherish, Brilliant and Humor. Ask yourself what they mean to you. To me - each one of these words have a commonality, a familiar realtionship - that being - our dearest, and my "Little Al". He deeply loved and adored his family and friends. He held close to his heart and truly honored and respected his many uncles, aunts and cousins. He had an incredible reputation from city-to-city and state-to-state. He cherished and relished his wife and beautiful children. He was exceptionally brilliant and extremely skilled at what he did. His humor and wit always brought a smile to your face, a chuckle and warmed your heart.

If Al was the ingredients to a recipe - it would be sand, dirt, gas, amoral and a lot of "go faster" As the son of wrecking yard owner his father taught him how to put cars together, but on his own he learned how to build cars. Moving to Temecula was the start of passion for the dirt. In high school he began working on race teams with friends. Then soon after he started working on trucks at Gary's Drop Shop. From there he opened Al's Performance modifying cars and trucks building some of the finest trucks in Temecula. If you are driving through Temecula and you spot a beautiful truck your certain to see a "ALS Performance" sticker on it. I'm very proud of Al and all his accomplishments.

Stacey, I want you to know when the kids get older I will tell them about all the wonderful stories of Al when he was younger and the unforgettable times we shared together. Just like I did with Al, I'll come and get the kids and take them riding with Little Michael. I know that Al loved me as much as I loved him. The many contacts, phone calls and emails that have poured in are a reflection of how wonderful a person he was. We love you deeply and wish away your sorrow and it be replaced with happy and loving memories. We miss you "Little Al"
