It took me a moment to get my thoughts together and fight back the tears to post a comment. As many know my Dad was my best friend. If it would have been your first time meeting him,he would introduce himself as "Al" aka "Big Al". I knew him as "Daddy" and he knew me as his "Tapooty". He was my teacher, my advisor, my coach,my mechanic, my hairdresser(he gave me the tightess curls in the world, lol), my best friend and last but definitely not least he was my DAD. He is going to be greatly missed. I will always cherish the good times and memories. GOD does not make mistakes, he chose the best to give the golden wings to.
