A perfect gentleman personified with integrity and always took the time with great patience to listen and advise no matter what the situation was at the time. He was on top of my list as one of the greatest legal minds that I have ever known. I miss him ever so much and in my career I still follow his footsteps.

I received a letter from the Schencker Law Firm today informing me of Al's passing. I am so sorry for your loss. He was a gentleman! He was very professional. He always treated me with the utmost respect. He held his family in high regard. I know he will be missed. My prayers are with you and your family.

Dear Nancy,
When I found out about Alan at the Glenkirk Brunch today, I literally got the wind knocked out of me. From the first day I met Alan, he has been nothing but kind to me and just an overall delight to be around. Even though I did not see you all often, when I did see him, he always made me feel like part of the family. I will miss him dearly but will never forget him.
Peace and Love......Lucy

I was a client of AL's law firm but I want his family to know how lucky they were because he talked about his family and how he loved them and his wife he made coffee for every morning I was moved by his stories of love and family and deeply saddenned by his passing. My life is better for having known him thanks Carol Swieca

I was very sad to hear about the passing of Al. I met Al about 4 years ago and I liked him immediately! He was always professional, but extremely witty, funny, and charming! I will always be grateful for the help Al provided to me.
To everyone in Al's family... You are in my prayers! Hoping you will all find the strength to get through this difficult time. My deepest sympathy for your loss.
