#Firehouse Alonzo "Al" Palmer had a few curveballs thrown to him by life...a rogue father who abandoned the "family" when he had turned ten...his mum (turned lush) failed to find a replacement to finish her sons upbringing ...kids at school failed life's course on empathy as if misfortune was contagious :( Al had to pick himself back off the floor and live a life without excuses. He enjoyed people and loved helping out. His last relationship went up in flames...major communication failure!
