Not sure what to say?

Like Barbara Palley Miller, I grew up with Alan during the Bar Mitzvah years of our male friends 1957-59, and have not seen him since he came to California for a visit in 1963, I believe. He was a wonderful friend, smart, funny and caring and I looked him up just now on Google. I remember his generous smile. Rest in peace.

thanks for making a difference...

The Lord bless you and keep you Dr. Segal - peace, peace, peace.

A great man has passed, a great loss for us.

To Meryl, Ethan and Jordan:

To Meryl and family,

I was a longtime friend of Alan's parents, Rose and Bennie. They had tremendous pride in Alan's accomplishments. I had the pleasure of meeting all of you on a few joyous occasions and want you to know how saddened I am to learn of Alan's untimely death.

I grew up with Alan in Worcester. We shared a wonderful group of friends in the fifties and sixties, and I am very saddened that his life has been cut short so young. Please accept my condolences.

Alan was a beautiful, beautiful teacher. He taught me many years ago, and I remember so well the enthusiasm for the subject he conveyed and his very thoughtful care of his students. I count myself very luck to have studied with Alan. I send my sympathy to his family and friends.

We join Meryl and the Segal family in sorrow at the passing of Prof. Alan Segal, a man of brilliance, integrity and courage, who made an indelible imprint on those whose lives he touched as teacher, mentor and friend.
