Read MoreI took genetics at WSU from Dr. Sarachek in '84-'85. He was always challenging us and was very helpful in our education.

I took genetics from Dr. Sarachek, one of the foremost geneticists in the world, and remember him fondly. He was both a genius and a humble and kind professor. He is missed.

Al Sarachek was one of the first professors I met when I came to WSU in 1968. He was good friends with Ernie Bubienic, also my good buddy. Al's professional contributions and serious leadership of the academic missions of WSU have been missed, as he is.

RosaLee, I'm so terribly sorry. I don't even know what to say except the world is definitely poorer with Al no longer in it. You are always in my prayers, my beautiful friend. Love, Candace.
