Read MoreI am so sorry to hear the news of Al's passing. I graduated from Wilkes and spoke with Mr. Groh. He was one of the finest educators and humans i have ever met.

Jane:
May God hold you close and may family/friends comfort you at this time. Though many years have passed since my graduation at Wilkes, Al's poetry during the Holiday season was something I looked forward to and I still hold dear. Much love and peace.

My deepest sympathies go out to Mrs. Groh. Mr. Groh was truly dedicated to cultivating an appreciation of the arts in the student body and the community. I also remember Mrs. Groh as a caring, devoted Dean. (Class of '72)

Dear Jane ,
I am saddened to learn that Al has left us but am so glad he was with us for so many productive years .
Al and I go way back to when he directed me in many productions at Chase Theater.He gave me confidence and ability and knowledge to appreciate the arts .I always cherish those times he sat with me in his office in Chase Theather and discussed many topics.
Not only a role model but mentor as well .
I know that God will be kind to our Al .

Dean Lampe, I'm very sorry to hear this sad news. I worked for you in the Dean's office around 1985 when I was a Wilkes student and was always very fond of you and your husband. He led a great life and will be missed by many. I'm so sorry.
