I can truly say that Newtown has lost one of the people that made you proud to live there. Al was a friend to all who entered his shop and a mentor to many of us who thought we knew something about plumbing. He would always take the time to teach you what you needed to know and would tell you if you were about to do something that was not necessary. You could always count on getting what you needed without being sold a lot of extra junk. If Al said you needed it a wise man listened, even if it did take me a couple of visits to learn this. It is men like Al who will lead this country back to greatness and we could all take a lesson from his example. God Bless you Al and may your family and friends always keep you in their hearts.
