In Memoriam - Al Specht<br />
August 19, 1944 – February 7, 2007<br />
Our friend Al passed away February 7th at the age of 62. Many<br />
knew him as “painter Al”, “Gibson Al”, or “that crabby guy that drives<br />
the station wagon”. We met Al one afternoon as he yelled, in his<br />
charming way over the fence at Darren to “cut out that noise”. Darren<br />
was cleaning our lot with the leaf blower and must have interrupted<br />
the soccer game. The next day Al wandered into our offi ce<br />
wanting to apologize for his behavior. He and Darren shook hands<br />
and from that moment on Al became a part of our lives.<br />
Al could be diffi cult, but he was easy going with our family. He<br />
could be stubborn, but smiled when he talked about his younger<br />
days of travelling to Europe and Hawaii, about cars (especially the<br />
classics) and his “Mama” whom he missed very much. He loved<br />
rock and roll, good bratwurst, and the North Shore. One of the last<br />
times I saw Al he was trying to help me get some of the last Gibson<br />
tenants to quiet down, he threatened to call “the man”. This drew<br />
silence from the young crowd, as they had no idea what he was<br />
talking about. He called money “prunes”, Cranbrook “Cranny” and<br />
anyone in a position of authority “the man”. I think Al missed the<br />
60’s and 70’s: if you looked closely enough you would have seen the<br />
same sadness and resignation in his eyes and try to fi nd a reason to<br />
make him laugh.<br />
We will miss Al and his unique tendencies. He was a son, a brother,<br />
an uncle, a colleague and a friend. He colored our days and made us<br />
laugh. His life mattered. He deserves to be remembered.<br />
Paint the heavens my friend and travel well on the next phase of<br />
your journey.<br />
Darren and Heidi Thompson<br />
