Surely God has been good to us. We were privileged for the past several seasons to have known and counted as a friend to all, our "Beach Master". The teens will be truly deprived of a friendly presence at Rainbow Acres, especially at the "Rivah".

God Bless all of "Mr. Al's" family and Ms. Phyllis Davis. Our sincerest condolences. Love, "Reggie", Alicia, "Fel" & "Moni" Frazier

We have lost a very dear friend. We will miss seeing Al on the beach, telling us to turn so we don't get sunburned. Al was the original "Beach Master", there will never be another one.

Coming over on Friday & Saturday nights to hang out with us.

Phyllis, we're here for you and we love you.



Al will always be in our hearts.
