I just found out that our buddy is no longer with US. Al was "one of a kind" and he will be missed.

Miesk5, Al, was a great man.

I met him first here at BroncoZone.com where he did a lot of hand-holding for me when I had issues with my 1990 bronco, it would just suddenly stall. As you can suspect he sent me links to where I could find information to search through. Often within the linked info there would be a list of possible culprits, and he would BOLD the one's he thought was the most likely culprit. I always suspected that he worked for Ford as a troubleshooter. Maybe not. He always/often spoke of issues as though he had first hand experience with the issue, for example he told me that when I was going to test my TPS, that the screws are probably loctited in place, and that I would need a Pozi drive screwdriver to remove what looks like a standard phillips head ****** or I would likely strip the head and have a heck of a time getting it out.

Now ... How would he know that!?

He was a private man, and always careful about his identity on the internet, and elsewhere. So I felt absolutely privileged when we exchanged phone numbers. We spoke very infrequently, perhaps only once a year, usually around the Christmas holidays. I didn't speak with him this year, and I am sorry that I missed that.

He was as pleasant on the phone as he was here. He loved his family, and his truck.

My truck went to the Bronco Graveyard in the sky about 9 years ago, so I lost interest, and didn't come here as often. I'd occasionally poke my head in and happily see that Al was still posting and helping people.

It brings a smile to my face thinking that I got to meet him, at least here.

Now... whenever I hear the song "When Its My Time" by Rodney Atkins, I'll think of Al Miesk5

Just now catching back up in here after being gone a while dealing with the things of life. Sure do regret to hear this. The forum has lost a giant.
Am better for the visits and help with info here, and much lesser for the absence.
Al was good people & will be greatly missed.
My condolences to his kin.

Thanks for posting this Paul.
I had no idea.
What a huge loss! I didn't get to know him except through the zone. He always had tons of support for anyone with a question. And always positive!
He will be sadly and greatly missed by all who knew him.
Thoughts and prayers to his family.

I remember the time . He told about when he lived in New Jersey and had a van for sale. A guy came to check it out. Got in the van started it up and started reving the motor really hard. His son reached in and ****** the guy out of the van. Reminded me of my dad and I. We were close and all the time tinkering on vehicles . You don,t mess with dad,unless you want to mess with both. Al was a great person. Prayers to him and his family. I guess him a Sea Bronco are working together on their broncos now.

He helped me with a couple bronco issues and I’m sure countless others on bronco sites. He will be missed . I think the site should add a special section with all the questions and answers he had provided over the many years we enjoyed him on here!! Thank you AL

This one hit hard yesterday .... with it being veterans' day.

I wore my USMC sweatshirt to Walmart yesterday. Of course, an older devil dog had to come over chat with me.

I enjoy the brotherhood of military service ... and Big Al had some great stories from the time he served.

Rest in peace brother ..... and know you will not be forgotten

Thank you Paul for serving our country and helping protect our freedom. I served in the army and navy.
