A Somerville Loss
Many of the car-enabled in the Davis Square community know Al of ABJ over in Winter Hill. I've been going there to get cars repaired since shortly after coming to Boston. Work has been good and prices reasonable, a rare combination in automotive repair. ABJ will still be there, and it looks like his stamp will stay on the place for many years to come... but.
Al is dying.
Two years ago he was diagnosed with cancer. It started hopscotching around, as some cancers do. Five weeks ago he was admitted to Mass General Hospital. Hopefully he is comfortable. Current medical estimates don't have him lasting out the year. He might not make it past All Hallows Night. If you know Al's full name and want to call MGH, feel free. Don't go over to visit without getting his OK first.
I'm going to miss him.
