Millie, sincerest sympathy. He was such a wonderful mentor and friend and loved sharing knowledge, stories, and laughs.
Al is nothing short of a legend within a certain circle of my old high school buddies. He was one of the coolest guys we knew and helped to foster my love for both guns and cars. I knew I was lucky to have known him, but did not realize at that time (30+ years ago) what an indelible mark he had left on us. I am very grateful that I had the chance to tell Al in person several years ago just how much we appreciated the time he spent with us.
Thanks for everything, Al.
Millie and Family, please accept our sincere sympathies on the passing of Albert. He did some work on our vehicles at Ratz Ford and at his home car repair business over the years. One time we were In Mississippi visiting Bertie’s family and the Taurus was not running right. Took it to a Ford dealership operated by a relative of Bertie. They hooked the car up to a computer and found nothing wrong. We drove back home, Red Bud, and the car would be smooth and then jerking at times. Next day I took the car to Al and told him the problem. He opened the hood, went across the street to D and D auto parts and got a new spark plug wire! Problem solved…Al always had a smile, he was a good guy.

Condolences to the family. My late husband Michael Biffar always looked up to Al whether it be for buying a gun or for help working on a car.
Have been to Al's basement many times over the years, buying something. Al and Millie are wonderful people. Our prayers go out to the Family at this difficult time
My deepest sympathy and prayers to
Mr. Gregson's family and friends.
May your memories give you comfort during this time.
