I took genetics at WSU from Dr. Sarachek in '84-'85. He was always challenging us and was very helpful in our education. I learned a great deal from him that has carried forward to today as a chiropractor. His impact on the students he taught will forever impact the world in a positive way.

I took genetics from Dr. Sarachek, one of the foremost geneticists in the world, and remember him fondly. He was both a genius and a humble and kind professor. He is missed.

Al Sarachek was one of the first professors I met when I came to WSU in 1968. He was good friends with Ernie Bubienic, also my good buddy. Al's professional contributions and serious leadership of the academic missions of WSU have been missed, as he is.

RosaLee, I'm so terribly sorry. I don't even know what to say except the world is definitely poorer with Al no longer in it. You are always in my prayers, my beautiful friend. Love, Candace.

Dr. Sarachek was my professor and inspiration my last year at Wichita before I entered medical school. I worked in the lab of he and Dr. Woodward and have many fond memories of the time. He never failed to challenge and support me in my endeavors. I know he will be missed.

I am fortunate to have know Al for some years. I always enjoyed my conversations with him-he was a very bright, energetic, successful man, kind and generous. RosaLee, I am thinking of you and praying for you during this very difficult time. I am so sorry for your loss of your best friend.
