Big Al's Tearful Reveal

[@MattTheFranchize]

I had the honor and privilege of working at the M.A.T as Big Al's Social Media Manager and Host of the Turtle Races on Tuesday nights. Al was able to help me break out my shell and help me grow as a person and as a professional video editor and doing stuff that was out of my comfort zone. There were so many good times at the MAT and also having the privilege of doing a special video for Kellie Rasberry's Birthday event in 2017. I hope that I can work with Al more in the future and of course thank you Big Al for being such a good person and always being so good to me and all others who visited the MAT.

Al, as a listener for 20 plus years (only 34 and married, so old and taken lol) I got a lump in my throat and my eyes got glossy with the news of the Mat. But through you're explanation helped me luv you more. I can't tell you enough of how much better you will feel with time. Give momma Dorabell a hug for me, she is proud of you. Go to the spa, you deserve it...take momma! Luv to all and be safe.

Awwww Al, I’m sorry boo ❤️

[@StephanieBogart]

I’m so sorry Al. I went there once when you were holding the free mammograms. I just don’t go to bars but I was grateful for it that day! Onward and upward!

I thought that Kellie was gonna cry, as well!

[@ChickieK8T]

Sorry Al, and I know it's kind of a platitude but everything happens for a reason.

Nothing lasts forever and all good things must come to an end. One door closed another opens.... Yada yada yada.... But it's all true. Letting go is the hardest part, but once you do life changes for the better. I know it's been nearly 4 months, so you should be doing pretty good now like going to Florida, wearing Speedos and getting waxed in the delicate places. See? All them doors just came right open, eh? Much love to you all✌💜
