My deepest sympathies. May the God of all the entire family during this time of sorrow. Always remember that God keeps in his memory those whom we lose because they are precious in his eyes. (Psalms 116:15)

I am sorry I could not be there as I was in Israel. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire family. Al made me smile. A wonderful person. I was so lucky to know him

Psalm 90:10 says that the days of our years are 70 years, And if because of special mightiness they are 80 years.
May the memories of the wonderful times you shared together bring a smile and joy in your heart.

Dr. Rosenthal was a colleague and very good friend of mine. We worked together at Memorial REgional Hospital for many years. Al was a dedicated physician and I really learned a lot from him making rounds together as he had a brilliant mind. I remember the time that he broke his humorous and I was his ghost writer as he couldn't write due to his broken arm. He was very flexible and together we would decide what I would write for him. We had a lot of memorable times doing those rounds. He was readily available at all times and always answered his phone. I remember the time I called him and he was out of the country in Russia but he answered his phone anyway. He will be sorely missed by myself and many others.
