See ya!

[Big Al]

Cancer beat me. Next monday my left arm will be amputated at the shoulder. No more me, to be.

 

[Strings Jr.]

Big Al, you will always be you!! Someone I have immense respect for. Someone that I have learned as much, or more from, than anyone at Gibson.
You have my prayers for a quick recovery Brother!!

 

[garywright]

a sad situation but I do recall you having a son(s) treasure family ,friends and just being alive over everything else ..you’re still Big Al..but with some modifications

 

[Greywolf]

My prayers are with you ..you can still compose.. I've' got stage 3 and it's no fun watching Life slip away ..

 

[ourmaninthenorth]

From Us to You.

Get to the recovery suite, we'll take it from there.

Paul & Audrey, under English Skies.

Fuck bro, hard times. Challenging, but keep punching back! Thinking good thoughts for you.

 

[J T]

Oh man.
You're still on earth. We're here for ya.

 

[renderit]

And you will still be the bestest!

We are rooting for you dude.

So lets be honest here for a moment.
You are a doctors worst nightmare. How many years ago did they want to do this surgery? Three? So you endured.
Dwell on the things you can still do. Annoy Kate. Look for the blue garter snake in the back yard. Watch the Steelies run. Keep passing on your weath of knowledge.
Because of this fucking nightmare do not scoff at the gifts you still have. There are still pieces of heaven here.

 

[Bob Womack]

Go big bro! We are rooting for you! A woman who loves you is a gift indeed.

My thoughts and prayers for you Big Al. Best wishes for a good outcome, look forward to the future.

'Fare Thee Well' does not have to become Adieu. Thanks for you deep well of contributions. Having them remain manifest from the other side of this would be most welcome, but do the best for yourself and family, first and always.

Keep steadfast and postive: with mental toughness coupled with an incredible wealth of knowledge, find whatever your best path is. No doubt you'll do it with your head, heart, and unique flavor of Big Al Gusto fully intact!

Let's say... you are the best-equipped man... for life as... King of the Hammer-Ons!

[darkwave]

This is rough to hear. I am a believer in the ability to find inspiration in spite of setbacks, but know it is hard to pull off continuously. Wishing the best for you, Al….

So sorry to hear about this. I know you’ve been dealing with this for a while. I hope and pray all goes well Monday.
