February 13 – Obituary: Robert Allen “Al” Newman
I remember working with Alan at CHEC Soda–he was always working in the parts room or doing maintenance on one of the delivery vehicles or zooming around the warehouse on the forklift moving syrup or cylinders. He was such a nice man; always helpful. I remember my father taking him on many installations, and to RFK/Fed Ex Field for CO2 deliveries. Alan was always willing to put in a hard day’s work and we all appreciated him at CHEC. I’m sorry to hear of passing.
