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

I have many beautiful memories of Big Albert, as I knew him. He was a kind and generous person. He always welcomed me in his home and made me feel loved. Little did he know, many days I spent away from my own home and with his family were to escape and be somewhere that I could feel loved. Big Albert always showed love. For that, and many more reasons, I am eternally grateful to have known him. I will also miss his cooking and espresso, just as much an artist there as he was with a million dollar yacht. Rest in peace. Your love and spirit will not be forgotten. From Corndog.

May your soul finally be at rest and may your heart live on in your children. Prayers and love for your family
I did not know Alberto Mejia Sr. however I do know his son Alberto Mejia Jr. and your son is an amazing compassionate young man. I had him as a student at Meany Middle School when you first moved here from California and have maintain that friendship over the years.
My heart goes out to your family and your spirit lives on in the yachting community as well as in your wonderful children.
Go in Peace!
If I could save time in a bottle
The first thing that I’d like to do
Is to save every day till eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you
If I could make days last forever
If words could make wishes come true
I’d save every day like a treasure and then
Again, I would spend them with you
But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do, once you find them
I’ve looked around enough to know
That you’re the one I want to go through time with
If I had a box just for wishes
And dreams that had never come true
The box would be empty, except for the memory of how
They were answered by you
But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do, once you find them
I’ve looked around enough to know
That you’re the one I want to go through time with
I miss you.
