My deepest condolences for the loss of a great man. I knew him before I started working for Krispy Kreme when he would ride with his employee Dee (as I called him), or have to do the delivery himself at the gas station I worked at in Murfreesboro. He was always happy and you could tell he had a positive outlook on life and that he loved his job. I know he will be greatly missed by many. My thoughts and prayers for his wife Faye and his family. May God put his arms around you and comfort you during this difficult time.

I worked with Al at Krispy Kreme. He was the spotlight of our day. He would walk through the doors with a BIG smile on his face and always make a joke with everyone. He will be missed for so many reasons at Krispy Kreme. I pray for all of his family to find peace and comfort during this difficult time. God Bless, Angel

No words can express how we are feeling right now, but God. To Faye and your family we do not understand "Why", please hold on to Gods unchanging hand. God loves you and he loved Al, your husband. I grieve with you as many others, especially your Lake Providence Missionary Baptist Church Family. Praying for peace and strength as you mourn the absence of your beloved husband.
Please do not lose sight and know God is in complete control.
Love Peace and Blessings to all.

The first time I meet Al was in 1984, I had just started working for Sunbeam Bread, and we had the same territory in South Nashville. Our paths crossed many time's in our line of work, and now I reflect back on how Al was always smiling. I am blessed to have had the opportunity to know Al. My thoughts and prayers are with Faye and the Baker family. God Bless.

I met Al when he started working for Krispy Kreme in 1985 when I worked in the office there. Al always had a smile on his face and never talked bad about anybody. I left Krispy Kreme in 2004 but we still kept in touch with Christmas Cards and birthday wishes every year and he always said that he was going to bring me some doughnuts to where I work now LOL . Al was one of the nicest and the most kind hearted person I have ever met. He will be missed tremendously My prayers are with his family.
