Albert G. Riskalla

Dear Family many years have gone by but during 1986 I met Al and his friendahip changed my life in many aspects. I heñped out at ABJ on Summer St. My name is Jamie from Buenos Aires Argentina. [email protected] . I remember Mimi and their children well. Huge hug. And Im very moved by the news. He has always been very present in my life.

I meant to leave this years ago. Al was a kind soul who always took care to treat me with respect whenever I brought my car in for service. I never had a grandfather, but Al gave the vibe of a concerned relative, always teaching me a bit about cars, the neighborhood of Somerville, and other small talk that made me feel at ease. I just thought of him today and his energy made m smile.

My deepest sympathies to the Riskalla family. I learned only today of Al's passing. I enjoyed talking with him over many years as a loyal customer of his automotive business. He was a wonderful man, full of wisdom and sound advice and so dedicated to his craft. I will miss him.

Al was wonderful -- a thoroughly honest, ethical man. I loved talking to him. I'm so sad he is gone.

To the Riskalla family:
I first met Al at Commerce H.S. His sister, Selma, and I were in the same class. A few years after graduation, we both worked in the shipping room office at Chapman Valve in Indian Orchard, Mass. When Chapman went on strike one year, I left and lost contact with Al.
I have tried off and on thru the years to find Al. I succeeded today, only to find out that he passed away. Needless to say, I am saddened and my heart goes out to the Riskalla family.
Al was a man with sterling qualities that set him apart from so many other men. I have never met a more decent man. My heart and prayers go out to all in the Riskalla family.

Warm regards,

Dear Mimi, I am heartbroken to learn of your father's passing. Al has taken care of my cars and of me for more than 20 years. He was unfailingly kind, gentle, patient and loving; as a human being, he set the bar very high. He defined for me what a man, a decent human being, should be, and I will miss him terribly. You are all very much in my thoughts and prayers. May angels lead him into Paradise, and may God wipe away all tears from your eyes.

Deepest sympathies to all. Al was a wonderful man and will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
