Mr. Crist was one of my favorite people that I ever met in my life. Mr. and Mrs. Crist were so kind to my Mom and Dad and I´ll never forget that. I was really lucky to meet Al Jr. and grow up with him and Jamee. So many wonderful memories but this is a sad day for me.

Lord, thank you! Thank you for the wonderful gift you gave us in this man Alfred Crist Sr.

Al, I’m so sorry for your loss.
