Our deepest sympathy for the entire Emami family. It saddens me to think that we have lost such a great person. We will always remember that great smile and wonderful personality that made Al the special person that he was. He will never be forgotten by the Tellez Family.

We've all heard the old cliche'
"Everyone Is Replaceable". Not so in Al's case.
You can't replace:
*The beautiful, black glistening eyes and the huge smile that lit up a room whenever he walked in.
*The person who thought of other people first and put their interests before his.
*The person who treated everyone, no matter who they were, or what stature in life they were, with the most dignity, understanding and respect
*The person who dearly valued his friendship and loyalty, as we did of him.
*The person who deeply loved and revered his dear Robin and family.
*The person who had an extra special place in his great big heart for his staff and friends at Exxon and Unity
*The man that touched more lives and positively influenced them.
*The man that was so passionate about life and cherished it and shared it
*The man that got more joy in life when he went out of his way to please everyone he met.
*The man that cared so much about his profession and gave back even more
*The man that took so much joy in seeing his loyal staff succeed.
*The man who accomplished so much in so little time - more than most people twice his age.
Even if you could, there's no one who would want to - After all, there was only one Mr. Al!
And we thank you Lord for sharing Al with us, even if it was such a short period of time. We were truly blessed.

Al:
You inspired us, uplifted us, connected us, and gave us a great sense of accomplishment when each event was completed and we looked good. Down deep we knew it was you. "Ok Missy, I can do that for you." I always worried that you would forget some special request but you had your palm pilot (you would write yourself notes on your hand) and you never let anything slip through the cracks. Your attention to detail, the funny way you told humorous stories about yourself and the way you could laugh made us all happy to know you. You defined who you were with those magnificent creations. You loved us....what more could we have wanted? You will be forever in our hearts and minds. You enriched us because you cared.....thanks, Al!.
My thoughts and prayers are with Robin and all of Al's family.

My condolences to Al's family. Al never met a stranger. He was an inspiration to all of us. I will miss hearing him say "Miss Janet." The EM family will not be the same without you. Rest in peace my friend. We will miss you.

Although a few years have passed since I last saw him or sampled his wonderful creations, I can still vividly “see” Al scurrying around an event table, adding his last-minute touches to make everything perfect. “Miss Marilyn, I make this for you,” he’d say - then step back and flash that delightful little smile, so full of joy and passion for what he’d produced. Al’s impact was tremendous; he nurtured us with his warmth, his talents and his kindness. It was a privilege to know such an honorable man as “Mr. Al.”
To Ms. Logan and the Emami family, my heartfelt sympathies are with you at this very sad time.

Al - what a blessing it was to have seen you personally at Greenspoint during one of our safety meetings. No one could have outdone your "food safety" presentation. You did an outstanding job. And you blessed us with the gift of breakfast and "prize" giveaways as well. ** My heart goes out to Robin, your family, and friends as they have lost a precious one. But we rejoice in knowing that we shall have a wonderful reunion in Heaven one day. Til then may our LORD shower your loved ones with His Perfect Peace and may He carry them in His Strength.

Al truly had a joy and a passion for his profession, as well as a zeal for life. He was a very giving person and was happy to serve others. He was a very talented chef. His smile and warm presence will be sorely missed.
To Robin and Al's family, my thoughts and prayers go out to you at this most difficult time.

Al,it's hard to imagine our lives without you in it. Your beautiful smiling face,dancing eyes and the compassion that you always had towards others are the memories we will carry of you in our hearts. Your precious time that you always took to help friends in need will not go unrewarded. Al lived his life with dignity and the uniqueness of who he was. God truly created Al with all his special gifts and talents and now God calls Al home to start his new eternal life. Al leaves the world a better place and in knowing Al we can strive to be better people by following in his example of living "the good life" as he would always say. We will never forget Al and he will remain in our thoughts and prayers till that glorious day when we see our good friend, Al again.
Love your friends, Rudy, Sylvia, Nicholas and Matthew Ocampo
