I was greatly saddened to learn of Al's passing. He and I were classmates at Weaver High School, Hartford, CT, and had been married for 10 years. People change, however, and we moved on. We had emailed each other just shortly before his death after establishing contact through "Classmates". He loved his life on the shore, calling it heaven.
I'm glad we were able to talk to each other but I'm sad to know that he no longer walks this earth. He always made friends easily and had a profound impact on my life. I'll always remember the fun we had antiquing and traveling to Texas and California back in the 1960s. My sincere condolences are offered to his children.

I don't know Alan, but I remember you from Pharmacy and Norman Cohen and Paul Corson. You were always a wonderful person. My sympathy goes out to you. You can reach me on facebook. I'm a cartoon guy holding a pipe.

Al was a mentor to me who became my friend for over 29 years. He visited us in rural Idaho this past October after a 6 hour bus ride through wild country. We expected more time together, talking wine and politics but it has ended. Our love to Karen, Micah and Natalie, friends from PCA and of course the famous “Supper Club”. We will miss you.

He was the best boss I ever worked for. He was a good friend, confidant and there when you needed him the most. You were a loving father and overall a dam good man who will be missed dearly. It comforting to know there is another good guy up there in heaven

Al was my stepfather and one of the greatest male influences in my life. He taught me how to be the man I am through his kindness, generosity and sensitivity. Although we hadn't see each other recently, I have many, many fond memories of Al including our shared interest of music and movies. I think of him often and will profoundly miss him.
