HELP !!! Looking for Al Arasim's Family
I've been informed that Mt. Dora FL local hospital and police are looking for contact info for Al (aka yoohooal). Relatives / next of kin.
If you have any Leeds, please contact me here and Renee DuBois (his supervisor at the hospital where he works security) at 352-409-0950
Placing this here so most will see it. Mods - feel free to relocate.
They won't release info to me so all I know is he's alive. Sounds serious.
I'll update if there's anymore to share.
I'm sure he'd also appreciate your thoughts and prayers.

Re: HELP !!! Looking for Al Arasim's Family
It is with immense sadness that I pass on the news that our friend and fellow Funko Hall of Famer Al Arasim / yoohooal passed away tuesday night while at work of a heart attack. He was indeed as he liked to say "a really swell guy.
Rest In Peace, dear friend.

Re: HELP !!! Looking for Al Arasim's Family
Very sad news. Al was indeed a "swell guy". RIP, Friend.
In memory of Al, watch a show he was in. As an actor, Al disliked "reality" TV for displacing talent with unpaid people.

Re: HELP !!! Looking for Al Arasim's Family
Rest in Peace Al, you were one of the first funatics I met all those years ago at the first FDO if I'm remembering right. You were always a pleasure to be around and I'll never forget how welcoming you were to a kid that wanted to collect bobble-heads to the Funko Family. Thanks for everything Al, you will be missed

Re: HELP !!! Looking for Al Arasim's Family
What a sad day. I will remember the years at SDCC. Would first run into him lounged in a folding chair in line to get in and later run into him again hanging out at the Funko booth. He was so gracious to open his house to us for our first FDO. He was the embodiment of the Funko spirit. Rest in peace Al.

AL WAS ONE OF THE BEST. FUNNY AND GENEROUS MAN. LIKED A GOOD CIGAR AND MADE THE BEST MARTINIS. HE WAS AN ACTOR. I WILL MISS HANGING OUT WITH HIM. AL USED TO HOST FDO HOLLYWOOD BEFORE IT TURNED INTO FDO LA.

Al was such a great Funatic. Someone who was liked by everyone, and a friend to all the old school fanatics. He will be missed.
