I was deeply saddened to learn of Al’s passing. For over 30 years, he faithfully cared for my home, and in that time he became so much more than an exterminator. Al was dependable, kind, and always carried himself with quiet dignity. He made me feel safe and cared for, and I will always be grateful for his dedication and friendship over the years.
Please accept my heartfelt condolences. I pray that the love and memories you shared bring you comfort and peace.
With sympathy,
Karen Alexander-Banks
My dear Marjorie, I’m so very sorry to learn about Fred’s passing and cannot imagine the pain you are experiencing now. I pray to our Lord Jesus Christ to embrace you with His love and give you all the strength you need to accept and tolerate Fred’s physical absence. Jesus is carrying you in His loving hands🙏
My heartfelt sympathy goes out to the family of Mr. Al! I just found out today of his transition. Al has been my exterminator for over 10 years. He will truly be missed! No more dialysis days that had him pressing his way even tho he wasn’t feeling well. I just pray his family & friends will find peace & comfort.🙏🏽
To the family, know that Alfred was such a great person and a great friend to my late husband, Pastor Frank English, III. He stood with us as we were married in 1978 in New Jersey. And every February he would come to do the annual inspection often forgetting to send an invoice. He will be greatly missed. Mother Rose Ann English 💔💔💔

My brother and my dear friend. We will miss you and never forget you. Our friendship is what makes our lives better together. We love like family and talk about many things. Yet we held so much common ground. Our mothers were close friends and we just fell in line. Yet you are gone and we are sad and sorrowful. Yet you brought joy to us while you lived. We were happy to see you come but sad when you left. So sorry for his wife and siblings and children and all of his family. Because Guess was a good man.
My brother we will miss you from the weekend get together. Yet while you were there you made us all happy and laughter filled the room. It’s not often in life you meet someone like you. You were a wise person and fair. You loved seriously and without regret. You didn’t change your mind about loving others. If they didn’t realize how much. It’s not too late for them to understand the difference between loving in silence and from a distance. I am glad you were just like a big brother to me most of my life. Good bye Guess and I will remember you as long as I live. Your brother Craig
My deepest sympathy to the family. Al was a great friend to my husband & I. He will be missed by every soul he touched. RIP my friend.
