Al Jrs Auto body

I never thought this day would ever come...i saw myself dying with Al Jr's Autobody for it has meant everything to me as well as robbing me of my life for i invested all of me in my business..I tried to be in business with my father who taught me the business but i put the work into excelling at the business in a way different then my father so i offered to my father to let me partner with him and unfortunately he didnt believe i was ready and laughed at me..i now don't blame him for he saw me in his eyes as not ready and when i decided to leave him and start my own business he said to me " I would never make it without him " so i established myself 1998 and on my own will with what peronal s**t i have been thru for past almost 4yrs have sold my business to someone so i can save myself , my mental so today it's final and keys have been given up...1998 - 2023 i made 25 yrs on my own and only had workers for 8 of them so i basically did this on my own..I started with One Car , One Light , NO HEAT NO PAINT BOOTH..I HAD A FULL FAMILY TO TAKE CARE OF, started minus $15,000 my first day and 25 yrs later i may not have what i hoped for but i satisfied everyone in my family and everyone i have ever done work for...all my children have college degrees and wether they are in my life or not i know MY Hard work paid off..just not in the emotional level..With that i want to Thank my father (who past many years ago) for teaching me the business and lighting a fire for me to believe in Me cause in life that is in fact all anyone needs to make it cause i made it with no money and a false dream of being like West Coast Customs lol but i had what is most important and until i Die i BELIEVE IN ME and i have learned that is good for me...I largely want to thank my wife Debbie Vazquez-Natale for she sacrificed her career to take care of our children ..for me to run with me starting my business in 1998..SO without her i never make it..and We made it...thus far..33yrs together ..Next i want to THANK EVERYONE WHO HAD A HAND AT BEING MY CUSTOMER and trusting in me and referring your own friends and family...i can't thank everyone enough for helping me make it in business and supporting myself to support my family..Thank you so much...And Last but not least i Want to Thank myself for one believing in yourself and sacrificing who i am for a dream of being successfull..i worked long hours in the beginning i would just come home for dinner so i could eat with my girls and be with Debbie and then get back to work for Debbie and i had talked and Debbie had let me know everything she needed outside of what her and i needed but what our children needed and i thank myself for i honored every wish asked, i almost lost my business 3 times almost lost my home 2 times and i still helped others when they needed me and with no help ever got out of every challenge i ever had...So thank you Me...i have one more challenge ahead of me but its in GODS HAND now for its out of my control...i am now taking off until i figure out what is next for me...so if anyone needs me i will do my best to help in any way,...i have other body shops i am referring my customers to..i just unfortunately can not do anything with anyone's deductible...So THANK YOU EVERYONE and please pray for me one to make it thru this tough moment of closing my business and pray my next chapter in life will be good...
LOVE YOU ALL
