I was A.J.s college freshman roommate. He was so very funny and upbeat. Unfortunately we didn't stay in touch over the years but I never forgot the times we had. I was telling a coworker some college stories and looked up A.J. only to find out about his passing. I am so sorry for your loss. A great guy who truly was remembered fondly. SK

A.J. touched so many with his knowledge and passion. Although he had far too little time on Earth to share, he did so much with the time he had. My condolences to A.J.'s family members.

I worked with A.J. He was a reliable confidant who spoke kindly of others even when he disagreed with them. He never hesitated to offer advice or to take my calls. What a wonderful person who touched so many lives.

My family will be forever grateful for AJ´s dedication to exposing the contamination in our town, without him, we´d still be drinking poison. The number of people AJ helped is just amazing. He will be missed.
