“Be happy. Try your best not to hurt others. Hope you fall in love.”
– Alberto “Al” Mejia Sr.

A creative, brilliant, skilled, compassionate, humorous and dedicated family man, Al Sr. will forever be our good husband and father, loyal brother and son, and true, shining friend.
His family extends their gratitude to Alberto Sr.’s friends, colleagues and customers
