Al Checca

Sadly just learning of Al's passing that happened earlier this year. I wanted to post a "in memory of" thread for him. Seems alot of us 101'ers have had no clue.

Al was a sweet man. He drove up to my shop 2 hours away from his to help me with my first police cruiser back maybe in 2006 and showed me how to install and work with reflective. I will miss him and his kindness.

Is that Gino on the far right?

Yep, that's the front of our shop for one of the s101 mixers we held.

Al was a great guy and would do anything for ya. He will be greatly missed.

Very cool! Are any of the other people in the photo anyone we might know? Your shop is a lot bigger than I thought lol

 

[Gino]

Yes, you'd know most of them or had heard of them, but Slappy would be better answering that one for ya. I knew them all, but that was 15 years ago and Al, isn't the only who has passed in that photo.
