Hello Levine family. My prayers are with you in this time of mourning. Al had a kind heart. He hired me into my first Research Technician position at Baylor. I then followed him to UT Dental Branch. We have the same hire date with UT. He has always been a willing mentor and great job reference writer. Whenever I needed a letter of recommendation he cheerfully said yes. I will miss him. Thanks Al. Peace be to the family. Tony Thomas.
