I know Al will be truly missed by many, and Gabby's will be missed as well! Gabby's was an important part of Decatur - i remember that my folks liked to eat there *many* years ago. My dad liked being able to get liver & onions. ;-)
My s/o & I & others were regulars at Gabby's. Sorry to see it go, and his granddaughters & Amy will be missed
I didn't really know Al but his son is married to my niece and if Al was anything like his son i have no doubt he will be dearly missed. RIP AL and god bless you and the family.
Al was a very talented and special man. He was an inspiration as he fought kidney disease. He could be found in Sam’s club where he purchased a variety of foods for his many restaurants. We asked when will you retire but with Al’s big grin he responded “ probably never “ God rest this hard working and cool man. Sincerely, Becky & Maurice Craig
So sorry to hear about Al. Sympathy for him and his family. RiP Doug and I always enjoyed chatting with him at Gabby's.
My condolences to the family and friends. He was a generous and good gentleman. I know he will be missed by his family and friends.
Rest in Peace 🙏!!!
To Alvin's family, I am very sorry for your loss. Alvin and I grew up in Tuscola and were in Boy Scouts together.
We will remember Al for his kindness and gentle spirit. He always went out of his way for others. You couldn’t help but smile when you heard him chuckle.
He will be missed.
