I have great memories of AJ, as we affectionately called him, while attending Florida Southern College. He and Jim Tolford adopted me shortly after I arrived and were instramental in my becoming an SAE. A flood of memories of those days as well as when we would get together at your home,Betsy, North of Milwaukee on Lake Michigan, are running through my mind.
Please accept my heartfelt condolences.
