Linda and family, I am very sorry for the loss of Al. He was a valued contributor to the brain tumor on line group. Although we never met in person, we knew intimately of the struggles along his journey. His spirit, like his fried Natrhan lives on in our group.

Linda and Alex-

Al was truly one of the greatest men I ever knew!

He was a very selfless person, who was always extremely considerate of others.

He always took the time, he was never too busy.

We shared many wonderful conversations and stories over the last few years. It was a pleasure to be able to coach and spend time with him socially. I only wish I knew him longer.

I will miss him dearly.
