In bed, once again on the internet searching for an old friend of 50 years ago. We spent about a year together in a graduate accounting program at MU Columbia, For the past twenty years, I have been hoping we could reconnect. He was a great individual to be around. He worked hard and played hard. Almost every day at school we took a break together and occasionally went to the field house. We had graduate offices next to each other. He had one of the best personalities of anyone I have ever known. It looks like you were blessed with an Al that was a lot like the Al from my past. I offer your family my sincere condolences. I´m still hoping some day to meet up with Al. If not, the great memories will live on. The Al i knew was also very good at racketball.

Very sorry to hear about Al's passing. Not mentioned in his obituary was his love for the game of racquetball of which he spent many decades playing. Al is the only person I can think of who would rather hit the ball behind his back or between his legs then like a normal player. He was quick, fast and loved the game. Al was always the life of the party at tournaments and will be missed by everyone.

Al was one of my accounting professors and my student counselor at Boise State. He not only taught me about accounting, but also helped me secure my first job at a major accounting firm that launched my career. I am forever grateful for his instruction and guidance.

Sad news indeed, this entire family will miss this man. From years of youth hockey and travel teams, friendship and memories for sure. Then hockey as adults, and the laughter shared with Al. The friendship has endured many years and stories. You will be missed, Thank you for always being Al! Hold tight to all of your memories as a family, condolences to the family at this time.

So sorry about Alistair. He was always such a fun guy and always looked like he was having a good time. At the reunions he would always stop and talk for a bit, always appeared to be happy and laughing. You will all miss him for sure.
