We stole through the ship like Loki at Midnight, laughing with the fates. Deep thoughts, happy conversations, mutual loves and shared experiences...OutSTANDing. Sweet memories.

The wake roils behind...as we cruise off. Ride on. Enjoy the toys toys toys toys toys. Quadra is peaceful.

Alden has so kindly touched my life and will continue to, for the rest of my life. I think of him often.

I've been trying to find Alden for several months, as he was heavy on my mind. We were neighbors in Lafayette, then he moved to Danville, but we always stayed in touch. We would have lunch every 2 to 3 months. But then I moved to Nevada, and we only had emails. Somehow his email address was hijacked, and I could never get in touch with him again. He was a stellar guy, I counted myself lucky to be among his friends. He was just about the smartest guy I ever knew, yet he was always down-to-earth and quick with that sense of humor of his. I never knew anybody who knew so much about any subject. God bless him and his family, and my condolences. I have and will really miss him.

OMG, I been thinking about Alden past several months and all his contact info was disabled..
I helped him on his Danala Farm home, and Crest Ave. This is shocking. Does any one know how he died. I hope his children are OK.

I am so sad to hear of Alden's passing, I was just thinking about him the other day, that I haven't heard from him and that I needed to catch up with him. Aden worked for me at Kierulff Electronics as part of my sales team. He was such a joy to be around, but you always had to be on your toes. I will miss him and I have nothing but found memories of Alden. I would like to offer my condolences to his family, Alden was a great man.

We were shocked to hear of Alden's passing. As partners in his beloved boat Drumbeat we had many special memories with him. We started our families about the same time and learned about life together. His since of humor and goodwill will always be remembered in our hearts.

I am so sorry to hear of Alden's passing. I met him on a cruise, with his friend Paul. He is one of very few people I have met who shared my birthday.

So sorry to hear of Lofty's passing. We had coffee together about 6 years ago and I had not seen him since. We grew up in the same neighborhood and attended school together, his sharp wit and sense of humor will be missed.

I'm saddened to hear of passing of Alden, or how I remember him as "Lofty" in Elementary school. May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of the times spent with Alden. God Bless.

Sorry to hear of Alden's passing. I have good memories of hanging out with Lofty (as he was known then) in Spanish V at Miramonte. His sense of humor brightened up many classes. My condolences to the family for your loss.
