Under this program, ARS employees served as adult role models for at-risk school children in the Washington D.C. Area.

Our sincere condolences to the family of my former neighbor and schoolmate. "Russ" lived across the street from us on Main Street in Whitesboro, and My brother Ron and I were with him the first time he went to the golf course to caddy. Al was a dear friend in our youth and I have always been proud of him. May he rest in peace.

To Michelle, Sheila, Alicia, and the grandchildren, you're in my prayers during your time of sorrow. Please have warm thoughts in knowing just how much your father and grandfather meant to so many people. Mr. Spaulding provided great opportunities for me and many others who worked at ARS. I'll always treasure the fond memories of the 16 years that I worked for him.

Cousin Al had keen intelligence, wisdom, and insight. His counseling and direction helped me through personal, family, and business challenges; I am a better person and businessman for it. Al said to deal with life "as it is" while striving to make it the way "you" want you it to be. Working for him was an honor. Al's impact will be missed indeed but lives on through everyone each touched.

Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with the family during this period of great lost. Cousin Albert was an inspiration to many of us in the Spaulding family. He and his wife Virginia lived what they believed and many times reached into the family to bring cousins into the ARS business to learn first hand the message of entrepreneurship. We will miss him dearly.

It is with sorrow that I write this short note. Mr. Spaulding was an intelligent, kind and compassionate man who also had a keen sense of humor. I see all of these wonderful qualities in his daughter Alicia, a close friend of mine. He will be terribly missed but lives on in the lives of his children, grandchildren and the many lives he touched over the years. Rest in peace and God bless to his devoted family members.
