Hi, I'm sorry to hear of your recent loss. My wife and I moved to an old home in Sandy Hook over thirty years ago. The previous owner informed us that if we had any problems with plumbing that Al was the man to see. Truer words were never spoken. Throughout the years, I've visited his shop and always walked away with an education. I'd walk in with an old pipe or fixture and was sent home with a remedy or sent home to bring back more of the problem area - even if it meant the entire kitchen sink! He had the "Yankee Ingenuity" to adapt an adapter. For that, I'll always be thankful. As we drive through the "Hook" and see his shop to this day, I know how grateful I, as well as many, benefited from his skills. Thank you Al, Jon Marc Jagush
