Losing Al, DaD, Grampy was a tremendous loss that we still struggle to accept. We loved you and miss you. Judy and family

I can describe the last year of Al's activities at IBM. His activities lead to major innovations, which even today are used in nearly all microelectronic applications. Klaus D Beyer

I just received a reminder that Al passed away a year ago on August 5th. I still cannot believe that he has left us. I guess God has some sort of finite element (math) calculations that he needed Al for.

I sure hope that God understands Spanish. Why is that you ask? Well, when I worked in Fishkill NY, Al's office was a few doors down the hall from mine. I'd be walking past Al's office and I'd hear him talking to himself in Spanish. I'd put the brakes on and ask Al, What the heck is...

Al JIMENEZ was my manager at IBM. I admired him for his superb technical leadership and for his athletic enthusiasm as a marathon runner. Ultimately,his initial guidance led to a major discovery used today in the semiconductor industry.

Alberto Jimenez: A Professional Remembrance

ASTAP! ASTAP! ASTAP (Automatic Statistical Transient Analysis Program)! This circuit analysis program was a major accomplishment of Al Jimenez during his career at IBM. Along with a team of several other engineers and mathematicians, he (and other members of the team) received several significant awards including a corporate award.

The ASTAP program was quite innovative. It created a language for the circuit designers in IBM...

I learned yesterday of Al's passing. I was (and still am) in shock, as I was planning on seeing him again after approx. 35 years of absences, sometime this month. I just cannot believe that he is gone. What a loss.


I worked for Al in East Fishkill N.Y. Computer Aided Circuit Analysis. He was a wonderful manager as well as a wonderful person to be around. I remember all the runs/races that we would do. Of course Al was always way up in front of me.


Under Al's...

Al was a great guy! He always had a twinkle in his eye and a smile for everyone he met. Conversations with him were always interesting. We were lucky to have him in the Cal Poly Math Department for his second career.

Our deepest condolences to Judy and to Al's children and grandchildren. All of us in S. Florida have wonderful memories of the trips to the beach and the great family gatherings that he loved so dearly. Al was -much like his dad- a great practical joker. He was always quick witted and was the first to have fun with any given situation at any given time. His passing was so unexpected by all of us but the memories that are left behind will always be remembered as will he. RIP primo...

Al was my long time friend and co-worker. He had a profound impact upon my life and I'll never forget him. His enthusiasm and creativity inspired and encouraged many others. I'll miss you Al.
