I only learned of the passing of my cousin today, December 28th when my email came back. My condolences to his family.

My sincere condolences to the Pasternak family. Alan was my colleague at the Energy Commission where I was the Chairman at the time of his service as a Commissioner. He was intelligent, professional and a true public servant. His subsequent work following his Commission tenure contributed new perspectives to science. A nice man above alll, we will miss him.

My condolences to the Pasternak family. Alan was a staunch supporter of the Ward Valley waste project which I was a part of in the 90s. During that time I got to know him well. I'll miss his wit and wisdom.

Besides having very strong technical accomplishments and being a keen energy policy analyst who had national impact, Al was one of the nicest guys I ever knew, and in every way. In addition to when we met in person, we talked by phone all the time for over three decades, it seemed, with him calling me or me calling him just to chat or to ask about who was doing what to whom, or just plain enjoying each others' company. I loved the guy, I was not alone in this love, and I know he is already...

I didn't know Al very well, but over many years as his neighbor, I grew to appreciate his gentle manner and his wit. Our family was fortunate to be able to share many holiday meals with Al and Mita and their children. Al was wonderful to my children and played an important role in their upbringing. I can say with certainty that Al was one of the nicest, most genuine people I have known. We will all miss Al.

A very tireless public policy maker---Dr. Pasternak helped inform California public makers on the issue of nuclear power and low level nuclear waste issues. RIP
