Alva Lefferts Hollander

Uncle Al:
My Uncle Al was a man who was always ready with a smile and a witty sense of humor. My visits with him were always enjoyable, and I can still hear his hearty laugh regarding the folly of the human condition, usually aimed at himself or one one his entertaining relatives ( I was one of them). We shared many a good time together with family and friends, and I will miss him dearly.

With love, Dan

Al was a giant among teachers and principals. He was exceptionally well thought of because his thinking was so incisive, his work with students was so instructional, and his humor was so infectious. I fondly recall riding to meetings with Al and listening to his cogent comments at these meetings.

Oh Al,
How much you are loved and how much I will miss you! No one could have asked for a better Big Brother! !
How you lived with so much gusto, robust zest for life, great enthusiasmm, indomitable spirit and "damn the torpedos, full speed ahead" approach to life's challenges will not not soon be forgotten!
Thank you for always being there, and for the marvelous memories!
